Wow, 37 foot long crystals in a cave in Mexico. Wow.




So unbelievable it looks like a photoshop job. But, it's real - article:

I believe its real. I was expressing amazement in my "looks like photoshop" rather than disbelief. Maybe I should rephrase.

Exploring that would be so. much .fun.

I at first thought photo-shop for sure - it's just so surreal. The people look like they're floating in light.
Pics are labelled National Geographic.
That would be a place I would totally go to see.

A person at work that I mentioned this to actually has a National Geographic subscription and got these images in his latest copy. (Cause the copyright can be photoshopped in, too.)

I actually have that issue of National Geographic. According to the article, explorers can only be in the cave 20 minutes at a time (if they are without the benefit of an air-conditioned tent) because the temperature in the cave is almost unbearably high.

112F and humid, I think. Yeah.
