Okay, I have a 50/50 chance of guessing correctly. So, I'm going to say have a look at these neat 'Stalagmites' I found? 🤔😁

P.S if your country doesn’t have the freedom to roam https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_to_roam there’s something inherently wrong.

Stalactites are the ones on the ceiling pointing down, while the stalagmites are the ones on the floor pointing upwards. A lot of people have good ways to memorise it, but my way is by imagining sta lag mites are slow little bugs crawling on the ground, and stalactites are therefore the opposite.
