These images show the details in which a LADAR scanner can resolve.  This is from one scan taken inside a large room of the cave, Caverna Cuarteles.  The top image is a 360-degree view of the cave (750 vertical points X 2000 horizontal points), which shows natural skylights (round holes on the cave ceiling), hanging tree roots from the ceiling, stalactites, and stalagmites.  We had even driven the truck into the cave, and it is clearly visible in the scan.
