Delve into the most visually stunning and remote caves around the world and experience a breathtaking journey into the Earth's mysterious depths.

Ancient Caves, an awe-inspiring 3D IMAX® film, brings adventure and science together as you join scientists on a mission to unlock the secrets of the Earth’s climate. Paleoclimatologist Dr. Gina Moseley and her team of daring cave explorers travel the world discovering vast underground worlds in search of stalagmite samples - geologic “fingerprints” - that reveal clues about the planet’s climate history.

There’s no air, no light, and no room for error when you explore the world’s most remote and dangerous caves, both above and below the water. Travel to France, Iceland, the Bahamas, the U.S., and Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula, and see the caves called Crystal Ballrooms, Devil’s Hole, Glass Factory and the Fangorn Forest.

Narrated by Emmy Award®-winning actor Bryan Cranston and directed by Emmy Award®-winning underwater cinematographer Jonathan Bird, Ancient Caves delivers a unique blend of adventure, science, and pure beauty.
