CAVING

Teams of adventurous scientists explore caves around the world to learn about these otherworldly places. Artifacts and mammals from ancient times, strange creatures such as translucent crabs and blind shrimps, organic slimes that support thriving ecosystems, and microbes that speed up the chemical reactions that carve out caves offer a wealth of information to geologists, microbiologists, hydrologists, and archaeologists. What is it like to be a spelunker? How do these adventurers conquer the dark unknown to uncover secrets about our world?
