To show the locations of prominent caves on Kosrae.
This dataset shows the location of prominent caves on Kosrae. It was formatted for GIS by Island Research & Education Initiative (iREi) (2019) from location information provided by Kosrae Island Resource Management Authority (KIRMA). It should be noted that Kosrae has no karst terrain whatsoever, so caves found on the island are all in volcanic bedrock. The natural caves are lava tubes.
