Daniel Roux Cave is a complex of two separate caves, located on the northern coast of Christmas Island just beyond Smith Point. The complex consists of two very different cave systems; the upper being a large multi-chamber non-technical cave that is relatively well decorated with stalemates, stalactites, and shoals, and the lower cave being a deep subterranean technical cave that is has an entrance that opens into the ocean.
Discovered only as late as July 1960 by a local fisherman, the cave complex was never named after its discoverer, but was named in memory of the dead son of a Swiss draftsman who worked on the island for many years.
