oh man, being underground/caves make me really nervous, but that would be so ****ing amazing to see!

Fascinating

Reminds me of Superman´s crystal ice cave from the movies.

It is pretty damned cool.

Call me when they discover any Morlocks or Hairy Trolls.

😛

(Great discovery!)

reminds me of the ones in Lechuguilla

known as the chandallier ballroom

Naica is amazing too...formed in the same way i believe...from liquid sulphuric acid rivers that carved out the caves leaving behind air saturated with sulphur so that giant gypsum crystals could grow

I watched a doc about this on Discovery last week. I was thinking fortress of solitude the whole time.

With so much crap and depressing stuff that is posted in this forum (of which I am also guilty) it's nice to see something that is just, well...cool.

Oh. cool. Where?

I´m a cave fan and visit as many as I can.

Sweet, magical crystal caves.

Anyone seen that Planet Earth episode when those dudes base jump into that giant cave in Central America? There's some weird shit going on in those dark places...

PS. Why is it so hot down there?

its 150 °F & loads of dangerous chemicals around, I think thats why they are wearing the suits..

Did you mean this base jump?

YouTube video

indeed he does...although he means this footage of it

YouTube video

excellent, especially with David Attenboroughs commentary.

But a rather odd thing to do, base jump into a cave eh.

Do you remember the name of the Doc? I would really like to see that.

I really think it's titled Giant Crystal Cave. Kind of lame, executives, but the program is more than intriguing.
