This chamber is called the Temple of Silence. The stalactites at top of the room or "Jaws" are at 7060 feet in elevation, making it the highest chamber in the Cave of the Winds, Colorado, and making CotW the 2nd Highest (Show) Cave in North America. Discovered in 1929 by Ben Snider, the owners of the CotW held a contest to name the chamber. Two people from different cities shared the prize for "the Temple of Silence," the winning name.
