Journey Into Amazing Caves tells the story of Nancy Aulenbach and Dr. Hazel Barton, who share a love for caves and cave exploration. Join these two accomplished cavers as they explore unusual caves, like ice caves in Greenland and underwater caves in the jungles of Mexico, looking for important clues about the Earth's past and microorganisms that inhabit its most extreme environments. On the giant screen, this unique story will transport viewers on an adventure to some of the most extraordinary environments on earth.
                  
     
JouNarrated by Liam Neeson and featuring a soundtrack with songs and music from The Moody Blues, Journey Into Amazing Caves is MacGillivray Freeman Films' third Great Adventure Film. Photographed with IMAX® cameras, Journey into Amazing Caves is now playing on giant screen theatres worldwide.

Cinematographer Howard Hall and Lance Milbrand prepare to take the IMAX camera into "Dos Ojos", a cenote that gets its name because of the way it appears from the air..... like two eyes. Located in the Yucatan peninsula, this cave system is one of the longest and largest in the world. It took us twelve days of shooting to accomplish all that we set out to do but the results were spectacular and it added an incredible air of adventure to the film.

The Yucatan portion of "Amazing Caves" also consisted of a topside production unit which I joined for an additional two weeks after the under water unit had wrapped. Here Cinematographer Brad Ohlund and Chris Blum prepare to shoot a scene deep inside a cave while standing in knee-deep water.

Although bones are occasionally found in the cenotes, this candy munching skull was not found here but in a Southern California movie prop house. It was featured in one scene of the film and is nearly impossible to tell from the real thing even upon close examination.
