Niah Caves Part 2

Americans seem to think this entrance to the Great Cave looks like one of their presidents. Can you guess who?
Sunlight filtering down into the cave. What emotion does this give rise in you?
Can you see the ropes hanging down from the roof of the cave? They are used by bird nest collectors.
Wooden scaffolding enables bird nest collectors to reach the roof of the cave.

    Herbert (another blogger) also visited Dear Cave, Gunung Mulu National Park. I stumbled upon his blog while looking for an answer.
