Fingal's Cave - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Fingal's Cave is a sea-cave on the uninhabited island of Staffa, in the Inner Hebrides of Scotland. The cave is the haunt of seals and sea birds. When the sea is very smooth visitors may be rowed directly into the cave, but the more usual landing-place is near the Clamshell Cave, where the columns have been worn down until they form a kind of terrace running all the way to Fingal’s Cave. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Fingal's_Cave   (436 words)

Cave - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Sea caves are very common at all coasts of the world, but as they are restricted to the zone where waves work on the rocks of the coast they are generally rather small. Cave inhabiting animals can be categorized as troglobites (cave limited-species), troglophiles (species which can live their entire lives in caves, but also occur in other environments), trogloxenes (species which utilize caves, but must leave the caves to complete their life cycle) and accidentals. Because of the fragile nature of the cave ecosytem, and the fact that cave regions tend to be isolated from one another, caves harbor a number of endangered species, such as, for example the Tooth cave spider, Liphistiidae Liphistius trapdoor spider and the Gray bat. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Cave   (1497 words)

The discovery of the virtually identical wording "the Son of God" from Luke 1:32 and 35 with the scroll found buried in a cave in A.D. 68 stands as a tremendous witness to the early existence and transmission of the Gospel records within thirty-five years of Christ. www.grantjeffrey.com /article/article1.htm   (2559 words)
