It's hard to believe places like this exsist. I've never seen anything like it, even in movies!

I bet there are places like this everywhere under the surface, this one probably pales in caparison to what is yet to be found. If only i could have one of those giant selenites in my collection! jk, i hope nobody tries to take stuff from here as it should be preserved for the whole world to see.

Wanted to develop a better suit for that place but it looks like its going to be flooded before I can get it together.
