Lower St. Michael's Cave
In 1942, it was decided that an alternate entrance was required to improve air circulation within the emergency hospital, as well as to serve as an emergency exit in case of airstrike. Whilst blasting the rock in order to create an extra opening, another deeper system of caves known as Lower St. Michael's Cave (or New St. Michael's Cave) were discovered. The series of descending chambers are riddled with examples of almost all known cave formations, including a lake of crystal clear water.
