“…Over 200 coastal caves have been documented on the island to date (Lace 2013 ), the majority of this inventory is composed of fl ank margin caves, including the largest known fl ank margin cave in the world -Sistema Faro (Lace et al 2014 ), but also includes sea caves, pit caves and talus caves. Detailed cartography and analysis of the structural morphologies of these karst and pseudokarst expressions support a complex model of carbonate island cave development as a function of tectonic uplift, sea level changes, karst hydrogeology and cliff retreat (Fig.…”

“…Nuestro proyecto de investigación se ha enfocado en el mundo subterráneo de las cuevas, el aspecto más llamativo de su geografía. La abundancia de las cuevas en Mona es debido a los procesos kársticos, resultado de las interacciones entre el agua y la roca caliza (Frank et al, 1998a(Frank et al, , 1998bFrondel, 1943;Lace, 2013;Mylroie y Carew, 2003). Los paisajes kársticos componen alrededor de 40 % del Caribe insular y de la Yucatán.…”

“…En Mona la disolución de la roca caliza forma cuevas que son horizontalmente extensas y que siguen el borde de la isla con sus entradas en el farallón abiertas al mar. Mona cuenta con más de 230 cuevas (Lace, 2013).…”

“…1998). Limestone cliffs dominate, providing access to the island's 200 Pliocene-era cave systems in the geological interface between the hard, lower Isla de Mona Dolomite and the porous, upper Lirio Limestone (Kambesis 2011; Lace 2012, 2013). The caves exponentially increase the experience of the island's size, providing access to a subterranean realm that is often more easily traversed than the densely vegetated world above.…”
