Abstract
Wind Cave is one of the longest, and most complex caves in the world. It is known for its delicate box work and intricate cave system. As with most caves, Wind Cave is full of mineral structures and formations, and when a blacklight is shown, those minerals light up and create a fluorescent tapestry underground. As cave tours are popular trips that allow the public access to this incredible cave, the National Park Service at Wind Cave would like to introduce a blacklight tour of the cave. Before offering this, however, the science of the fluorescence needs to be examined.
