Ulusal Park
Genel bilgiler
Carlsbad Mağaraları Ulusal Parkı, New Mexico'nun güneydoğu köşesinde, Chihuahuan Çölü'nün ovalarının Guadalupe Dağları ile buluştuğu Carlsbad şehri yakınlarında bulunan bir Amerika Birleşik Devletleri Ulusal Parkıdır.
25 Ekim 1923'te Başkan Calvin Coolidge, Carlsbad Mağaraları'nı ulusal bir anıt ilan etti. Milli Park statüsü 1930'da belirlendi ve 1995'te UNESCO Dünya Mirası alanı ilan edildi.
Parkın yaklaşık üçte ikisi de vahşi yaşam alanı olarak ayrıldı ve habitatta gelecekte herhangi bir değişiklik yapılmamasını sağlamaya yardımcı oldu.
Şimdiye kadar keşfedilen en büyük yeraltı odalarından biri, sanal bir odalar labirenti olan Carlsbad Mağarası'nda yer almaktadır.
