Wandered around the Geevor Tin Mine complex in Cornwall the other day. https://geevor.com/ A most impressive site, and well worth seeing. The whole landscape of that area of Cornwall is, well, best described as a bit Poldarky.
One of the more interesting things that they had there was a physical 3D model of the mine workings around that part of Cornwall. Apparently it was started in the 1960s and maintained during the life of the mine. As well as a guide to the possible locations of the ore etc. it really is a fantastic work of industrial art and shows the complexity of what was going on and the scale of operations. The blue line on one of the pics shows sea level, so most of the works were below sea level.
So I was wondering, are there any similar things in existence for caves? I've added a couple of pics (heavily squished to load here and taken through scratchy perspex) but hopefully you get the idea. Really need to see it in real life though to get the full perspective.
