Is that not most incredible? Wow.. but why the crazy costumes? Is the air toxic or something in there? Tammy

Wow those are amazing! Tammy, those are refrigerated suits, I'm not sure what 50° C is but it must be very very warm.

Cher, 50 C is quite warm. 0 is freezing water and 100 is boiling water. A very hot summer day is at about 35...40.
Awesome cristals!

50° C = 122° F (+ 100% humidity = bad problems)
I saw this a few years ago when I started really getting into caves. I'm still trying to figure out how much exploring they'll be able to get done if they can only go in for an hour at a time! And that's with the suits!

I've seen this before but am still in awe over how cool those are. One of my all-time favorites!!!

The cave of giants in Mexico was found only a few years ago. I cant locate the link, but its a Selentite cave. With some Crystals weighing the tonage range!
