Popis:	Banana holes are circular to oval voids with diameters ranging from 2 meters to more than 10 meters, and with depths up to 5 meters, which are found throughout the Bahamas. They are named for a specialty crop sometimes grown in the thick moist soils that accumulate in them. They commonly have vertical or overhung walls, and exhibit phreatic dissolutional morphology. Occasionally, banana holes are found with complete or nearly complete roofs.
