Crawling through caves with geography department

So, what is the difference between a stalactite and a stalagmite?

One way to view and understand the distinction first hand is to take the GEG 120 cavern studies class taught by professors Stephen Vermette and Karen When every fall semester.

The class is a hands-on experience, taking students for a four day camping trip to five separate caves in Pennsylvania and Virginia.  Along the way, students are given the chance to burrow deep inside dark passages with only a hardhat and flashlight, learn how caves are formed and meet other Buffalo State College students.
