| Caption | Its blue water contrasting strongly with the surrounding green vegetation, Round Spring, in Missouri's Ozark National Scenic Riverways, is an excellent example of a cenote. Cenotes occur when limestone collapses, forming a sinkhole that fills with groundwater. Round Spring is connected to the Current River via an underground cavern, through which flows an average of 26 million gallons water a day. The blue color results from a high concentration of dissolved limestone. | |
