  Lost World Caverns: Lewisburg, West Virginia (WV)
Lost World Caverns features the nation's largest compound-stalactite, the 30-ton "Snowy Chandelier," which is one of the world's best displays of pure white calcite.
The Guiness World Record for stalagmite sitting was set in the caverns in 1971 by Bobby Addis, of Parkersburg, West Virginia, who endured a vigil at the top of the 28-foot-tall "War Club" for 15 days, 23 hours, and 22 minutes.
Lost World's expert guides will customize a four-and-a-half-hour adventure through caverns more than a mile beyond the developed commercial cave area.

 The Lost World (Michael Crichton) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Lost World is a novel by Michael Crichton, published in 1995 by Ballantine Books.
Like Arthur Conan Doyle's novel of the same name, Crichton's novel concerns an expedition to an isolated Central American location where dinosaurs roam - though in this case, the dinosaurs were recreated by genetic engineering, rather than surviving from antiquity.
The eccentric mathematician Ian Malcolm and the egocentric paleontologist Richard Levine head to Isla Sorna to invesigate extinction theories in the "Lost World" left by InGen's cloning program.

 Lost World
Covering an area of 60,000 metres2, the Lost World comprises 38 structures, one of which is the Complex for Astronomical Commemoration.
The main structure 5C-54 (the Great Pyramid of the Lost World) is a four-sided structure standing 30 meters high, and displaying masks and stairways on all four sides, which never bore a temple at the summit.
As time elapsed change came about, the Astronomical Commemoration Complex lost its function and its ancestral importance, while the Lost World complex was remodeled and its residential palaces were probably replaced by more administrative functions.

 NATURE. Living Edens: The Lost World | PBS
"The eighth wonder of the world." "An exotic, other-worldly landscape." "It's unlike anywhere else on Earth." To explore it is to "walk on the moon." The ancient tepuis of Venezuela, with their gravity-defying rock formations, thundering falls, and singular flora and fauna, deserve every note of praise and wonder they receive.
Canaima National Park, which surrounds the tepuis and stands as a protector of indigenous population and the environment alike, is a World Heritage site, a testament to its biological and geological importance.
Still only marginally explored, it has inspired several books, including Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's famous THE LOST WORLD, and remains a source of awe and humility for all who visit it.

 Internet Archive: Details: The Lost World
The Lost Word is also famous as the first in-flight movie which was shown during a scheduled Imperial Airways flight from London to the Continent in April 1925.
The Lost Review may be found in The Lost World.
Yes, there was a movie BEFORE Jurassic Park called "The Lost World" featuring dinosaurs etc. This is a fun movie (I havent actually seen the archive.org version yet though, so I can't vouch on it's quality), and it's really fun to watch and cringe on how unoriginal Spielberg is when coming up with movie titles.

 The Dinosaur Interplanetary Gazette - SAVE THE LOST WORLD NOW!
Those of you who are ahead of this article undoubtedly know that Michael Crichton's The Lost World owes its title to a famous novel by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (of Sherlock Holmes fame) which originally appeared as a serial in the Strand Magazine in London, England beginning in April 1912.

The disk was mastered from the three remaining reels of 35mm negative, and two 16mm preservation prints that were in the possession of the George Eastman House in Rochester, New York.

 The Lost World: Jurassic Park DVD review
The Lost World: Jurassic Park also rolled up some alltime great box office numbers, but was considered to be a disappointment by many.
The original broke so much new ground that it would've been virtually impossible for a sequel to live up to the hype and expectations that were heaped upon it.
It is a 2 disc set that contains the widescreen edition of both Jurassic Park and Lost World including all of the bonus material.

The dinosaurs of "The Lost World" were no match for hackers who broke into their Web site (www.lost-world.com) and with a stroke of a key changed the film's name to "The Duck World: Jurassic Pond."
Gone was the ferocious dinosaur seen on "The Lost World" logos.
In its place was a genial duck and the banner "The Duck World." The page was signed "Hackers." The rest of the web site was apparently untouched.

 New Scientist Breaking News - Renewed hope in search for lost Mars lander
There is renewed hope that an orbiting NASA spacecraft will be able to identify the remnants of the Mars Polar Lander, which was lost after its descent to the Red Planet in December 1999.
The MPL was lost during descent and a subsequent investigation found that the lander’s legs had deployed before touching down.
That may have sent a false signal that the craft had landed, causing the engines to shut down early.
