Crystal clear image

I'm pretty sure I saw this in a fucking textbook. That was crystal clear when I saw it.

It is though. This is actually a photo from the Cave of the *Pixels* in Japan. Given the cave’s many hard protrusions, the whole thing had to be blurred in real life to conform to the country’s pornography laws.

I can’t believe some cartel hasn’t started mining it for living room decor yet

They have had several people try to steal from it and drown because the humidity is so high their lungs literally fill with water.

Reflooded October 2015 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cave_of_the_Crystals

Wow I didn't know that they had let it reflood. Probably a good thing.


sussyimposter1776

the thought that humidity itself can drown you is nuts


braxes81

Blew my mind when I heard about it.

It's also extremely hot and humid, which limits exploration. People can only be in there for about ten minutes.

Please sir, may I have some more pixels?

I’d love to go down here. I saw it on telly once, it’s super fucking hot so they have to wear like a bulletproof vest full of ice cubes

And it’s about 120F all of the time.

Looks like reiss chapel

6,000 cubic meters isn't really all that big. At over a hundred meters long, it wouldn't have to be particularly wide or deep for most of the cavern. With those giant crystals, it creates a claustrophobic effect, if anything.

Actually it’s 78 meters in length and has 3,204 cubic meters of volume. Gets your facts straight

You think your facts scare me?
