蓝洞,灯塔礁,伯利兹城,2002

中文注释：

这个几乎为完美圆形的蓝洞离伯利兹城大约60英里(100千米)，其直径超过1,000英尺(305米)，深达约400英尺(123米)。

在冰河时期，这个洞是一个岩溶洞穴群的开口。当冰雪消融，海平面上升后，海水涌入这个洞穴，形成了现在这个吸引众多无畏潜水员的地方。如今，蓝洞以海绵，梭鱼，珊瑚，天使鱼和一群常在洞边巡逻的鲨鱼而闻名。

英文注释：

Blue Hole, Lighthouse Reef, Belize, 2002

Approximately 60 miles (100 kilometers) from Belize City, the almost perfectly circular Blue Hole is more than 1,000 feet (305 meters) across and some 400 feet (123 meters) deep.

The hole is the opening to what was a dry cave system during the Ice Age. When the ice melted and the sea level rose, the caves were flooded, creating what is now a magnet for intrepid divers. Today the Blue Hole is famed for its sponges, barracuda, corals, angelfish#161#170and a school of sharks often seen patrolling the hole#161#175s edge.
