22nd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Travel
Into the Light

The Quadirikiri Caves in Aruba, located within Arikok National Park, are a fascinating natural attraction known for their limestone chambers and striking light displays. The cave's two main chambers are illuminated by sunlight streaming through openings in the ceiling, creating a dramatic and ethereal atmosphere. In the photo, my three-year-old daughter stepped into the light and was fascinated by nature's creation.
