Stalagmites
Stalagmites are mineral formations that grow upward from the floor of caves due to the dripping of mineral-rich water. They are typically composed of calcium carbonate and other minerals, and can vary in size, shape, and color. Stalagmites are formed over thousands of years as mineral deposits accumulate, creating unique and intricate natural sculptures in underground caverns.
