mistake Explanation: I think they have repeated themselves and that it should read, "which allows RESEARCH ON THE SITE" makes sense, if the information is kept on-site. |

caverns Explanation: Carlsbad Cavern, with one of the world's largest underground chambers and countless formations, is highly accessible, with a variety of tours offered year-round. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-05-14 18:29:17 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Beneath the fertile rolling hills of the Meramec Valley, lies a complex of mineral formations and color as rare and unique as they are beautiful. These jewels of nature which took thousands of years to grow, are preserved in the spectacular sights of Meramec Caverns. Guided tours by trained rangers are conducted along well-lighted walkways. All cavern facilities are accessible to the disabled. Learn how Mother Nature built an ancient limestone \"Wine Table\" and an entire 7-story mansion... all underground. On tour you will see both the rarest and largest cave formations in the world. Meramec Caverns is the largest commercial cave in the state of Missouri. Missouri is also known as the Cave state, hosting home to more than 6,000 surveyed caves. Meramec Caverns is open year round and offers a fun, affordable vacation for all its visitors. The well-trianed rangers can accommodate groups of any size. Nestled agelessly among the lush foothills of Missouri\'s rolling Ozark\'s, these magnificent caverns chronicle over 400-million years of history including: The formation of caves and stalactites, fossils and limestone, Indians of Missouri, European miners and explorers, dramas of the Civil War, train robberies and great escapes, ballroom dances around the 1900\'s, the Great Depression, World War II, Hollywood movies, and the list goes on. The history of Meramec Caverns is rich with the treasures of time. Going back through the centuries, local tribes if Indians used the cave as shelter. Later in the 1700\'s, a French miner, Jacques Renault, founded one of the Cavern\'s greatest natural resources, saltpeter. This substance was used exclusively for the manufacture of gunpowder. |

Yes, I saw errors in the first phrase you gave Explanation: "subterranean" was an adjective w/ no noun. In future, please make it clear that you are reading a P>E translation and just trying to evaluate it - or whatever.... We are all continually dismayed by the quality of translations we find in everyday live. |
