You're going to be checking out a 30 million-year-old limestone cave. What's more unique is that this cave is inhabited by a huge colony of glow worms. Photographer Joseph Michael took these pictures, and they are breathtaking!
It almost looks alien.

But this is real and it's not photoshopped.
The glow worms are called Arachnocampa luminosa, and they are a species of fungus gnat native to New Zealand.
