Photographer Marcio Duranc, 40, captured the sheer magnificence of this vast, 16-metre deep underground cave

Its transparent crystalline blue water and submerged trees make it difficult to tell where water ends and rocks begin

And tourists who visit the Poco Azul cavern in Chapada Diamantina National Park are encouraged to take a dip

The otherworldly cave is situated at the bottom of a sinkhole near the Paraguaçu River in Nova Redenção, on the eastern front of Chapada Diamantina.

In the 1990s, it was explored by cave diver and film maker Tulio Shargel, who found a large bone hidden in the sediment at the bottom of the pool.

The bone was later identified as part of the skeleton of a giant five tonne sloth, which became extinct during the Pleistocene period, more than 11,000 years ago.

Remarkably, a team of 30 aerologists then returned to the site to discover the remains of about forty different species of animals, most of them extinct.

EXPLORING THE AWE-INSPIRING NETWORK OF CAVES BELOW MOUNT RAINIER VOLCANO ICE CAP

Below the ice cap at Mount Rainier’s summit lies a network of otherworldly grottoes explored this summer by scientists and cavers.

By Sandi Doughton

Seattle Times science reporter

All photos by Francois-Xavier De Ruydts / Special to The Seattle Times

Microbiologist Zoe Harrold heads toward a cave opening — and sunlight. The University of Washington graduate says the caves can be a natural laboratory for study of microbes that can flourish in conditions hostile to most life.

Bill Lokey planted his ice ax in the crumbly slope and scanned the cavern with his headlamp.

Counting all the ups and downs, he had climbed more than 15,000 feet to get here — past yawning crevasses and over cliffs where a single misstep could send a rope team tumbling. His party was pummeled by a lightning storm so ferocious it stood one woman’s hair on end. Gale-force winds threatened to shred their tents.

But now, the grin on Lokey’s face said it had been worth it. A ceiling of ice arched 40 feet overhead, glistening as the light danced across its scalloped surface. Steam hissed from fumaroles, misting the air, as it had more than four decades earlier when he first set foot in this otherworldly grotto.

Bigger than a ballroom, the chamber faded into darkness at either end.

PHOTOS OF MYSTERIOUS LAVA CAVES UNDER WASHINGTON STATE - Hundreds of feet underground and stretching for more than two miles

WHAT LIES BENEATH - Stretching for more than two miles and hundreds of feet underground, these are the stunning networks of caves buried under Washington, US. The spectacular tubes display a kaleidoscope of colours - formed more than 8,000 years ago by lava flows stacking on top of each other inside a deep canyon.

Photographer Josh Hydeman, 33, explored the breathtaking formation, which is 325ft below the ground, with fellow adventurers Eric Guth, Garry Petrie and Jason George.

CHINA'S FORESTS OF ROCK - GIANT ARCHES AND PILLARS MADE BY COLLAPSED SUPERCAVES AND THE ACTION OF WATER

Moon Hill, formed from the remains of a collapsed cave

Forests of rock: Awe-inspiring images reveal the towering arches and pillars of limestone which dominate ancient lands of China

Jaw-dropping limestone 'karsts' soar hundreds of feet into the air across a vast region of southern China

Arches, spires and pillars were formed over 270million years and conceal some of the world's largest caves below

Landscape is being documented in unprecedented detail by a British-led team of cavers and explorers

Rock sculpted by water

Hewn ruthlessly from the earth by water over 270million years, these stone structures are a testament to the power of the natural world.

The pillars, arches and columns rise hundred of feet into the air over a vast region of southern China, striking awe into observers who have flocked to the area for thousands of years.

Known as karsts, the limestone structures - captured in these images for National Geographic Magazine - are created when water forces fissures, sinkholes, cracks and caverns into the soft rock, leaving only a series of monoliths above ground.

MYSTERIOUS ANCIENT MAN-MADE CAVES IN HIMALAYAS - THOUSANDS OF THEM - WHO MADE THEM AND WHY?

There are still mysteries to solve and explore, the stuff of exciting adventure novels.

Hidden within the Himalayas Mountains there are thousands of caves carved 155 feet off the ground. The area used to be the Kingdom of Mustang in Nepal.

They have been either dug into the cliffside or tunnelled from above. And they are thousands of years old.

How did the builders get up there? Even today the climb is extremely hazardous.

A climber said: 'This was real exploration. It's dangerous, it's loose rock and it's scary. Everything is loose, everything around you feels like it's crumbling. You feel like when you're climbing everything is going to collapse.'

Here are some pictures to give you a sense of the huge size of these mountains, and their rugged, mysterious beauty.

DO PLANTS HAVE INTELLIGENCE? Latest research indicates they do

Plants have between 15 and 20 senses, some of them analogous to our five senses. ~~~ Plants are able to sense and respond to light, water, gravity, temperature, soil structure, nutrients, toxins, microbes, herbivores, and chemical signals from other plants. This could not be done without an informational processing system. ~~~ They can form alliances with insects to use them as bodyguards, and when threatened by predators, they can summon them by using chemical signals. ~~~ They can get useful insects hooked on the drugs they make. ~~~ They use chemical warfare to fight enemies. ~~~ READ MORE fascinating facts about plant intelligence by clicking on these flowers..

THE CONNECTION BETWEEN MENTAL ILLNESS AND ISLAM - What science says about it

The sciences of GENETICS and EPIGENTICS demonstrate that human EVOLUTION is still ongoing. ~~~ Changes in the human genome occur as a result of many factors in the physical and cultural environment. ~~~ Studies demonstrate that GENETIC CHANGES occur even during the lifetime of a person, and they can be inherited by their children. ~~~ In the case of ISLAM we have to consider 14 centuries of harsh indoctrination and cultural violence, repressed normal sexuality, and a lifestyle rooted in 7th century Arabia, in sharp conflict with 21st century science and culture. ~~~ MUSLIM UPBRINGING includes mental and physical abuse, and often sexual abuse of boys and girls as well. - The INBREEDING factor is also significant. Marriages to first cousins are very common, resulting too often in children with physical and mental disabilities. ~~~ The incidence of MENTAL ILLNESS and mental disability among Muslims has been all but ignored by countries that are importing millions of Muslim migrants. - This genetic factor may explain why second and third generation of Western Muslims have difficulty controliing emotions, and sometimes engage in actions of extreme violence.

SKINNING AND OFTEN COOKING DOGS AND CATS ALIVE IN CHINA AND OTHER S.E. ASIAN COUNTRIES

It is disturbing that countries with thousands of years of civilization allow the torture of dogs and cats to be used for FOOD and the FUR INDUSTRY. - This is LEGAL in China and acceptable practice in Vietnam, Cambodia, and other S.E. Asian countries. - We have trade, diplomatic, and educational links with those nations, and in this way we are also indirectly COMPLICIT with this horror. - Hundreds of thousands of DOGS and CATS are tortured this way each year. - This PHOTO shows a puppy at a dog market in China (probably a stolen pet), lovingly pleading for attention.

PRIONS FROM SICK DEER CAN PASS FROM DEER TO GRASS TO COW TO HUMAN - PRIONS CAUSE BRAIN DISEASES

PRIONS (tiny disease-causing agents) from SICK DEER's urine and feces can bind to PLANT roots and then travel to stem and leaves. - PRIONS are then consumed by grazing COWS, who can pass the prion infection on to HUMANS. - WHAT IS AMAZING about this is how cows can contract a serious animal disease by way of a plant. - Prions are responsible for several serious BRAIN DISEASES in animals and humans. PRIONS cause MAD COW, Creutzfeld-Jacob, and several other brain diseases, and have been linked to ALZHEIMER'S. CLICK ON IMAGE to read more.

EARTH GRAVITY WAVES RIPPLING THROUGH THE ATMOSPHERE

The upper atmosphere is not only disturbed by SOLAR storms but by EARTH gravity waves as well - Gravity waves are born when air masses are pushed up or down by a thunderstorm, perhaps, or when wind is forced up and over a mountain range. When they reach the upper atmosphere these waves have built in amplitude and extent. They can dominate atmospheric processes sometimes threatening the reliability of Earth-based communication systems. - CLICK on image to read more and watch video of computer-generated model of gravity waves.

READ ABOUT THE BIG ONE. Also, whether as a result of a mega-earthquake, large tsunami, electromagnetic pulse (EMP) event (from a giant solar flare or from a terror attack that would fry the power grid), NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS ARE VERY VULNERABLE TO MELTDOWN ~~~ A sustained electric power failure lasting several days would leave nuclear power plants unable to operate, unleashing a full meltdown.~~~~~ We already saw how a well-prepared country like JAPAN has been unable to bring its FUKUSHIMA nuclear power plant under control after the 2011 earthquake and tsunami, leading to a meltdown. JAPAN will continue to dump millions of gallons of extremely radioactive water into the Pacific Ocean for at least the rest of this century. ~~~ READ ABOUT PREPAREDNESS for you and your PETS.~~~ CLICK ON IMAGE to read more

YELLOWSTONE ERUPTION OR NOT - BE PREPARED FOR ANY DISASTER - List of 50 PREPPER websites

A Yellowstone geologist stated that science can predict the MEGAVOLCANO behavior only as far as two weeks into the future - nothing more. Anything could happen beyond that time frame. ~~~ But Yellowstone is not the only threat on the horizon. ~~~ There are severe WEATHER EVENTS every year. ~~~ A SOLAR FLARE or a terror attack could unleash an electomagnetic pulse event (EMP) that would fry our grid and all electronics for a long time. ~~~ And then there are EARTHQUAKES ~~~ We have witnessed how incompetent all levels of government are to deal with these situations. We are on our own. So here is an article about the threat of the Yellowstone megavolcano.

WHY DO MUSLIMS HATE YOU?

A good Muslim follows the Koran and Hadith to the letter. Read how those Muslim scriptures order Muslims to DESPISE AND KILL THE INFIDEL. ~~~ Muslims regard western values as repugnant, and many see jihad as justified. ~~~ Islam is not compatible with western culture. There can be no assimilation. ~~~ Abandoning Islam, or APOSTASY, is punishable by death. ~~~ Muslims have been waging war against other people since the 7th century. ~~~ It was always CONVERT OR DIE. Countless indigenous cultures and religions across Asia and Africa have been obliterated, forced to submit to Islam. ~~~ According to conservative estimates, Islam has killed 270 MILLION non-Muslims during 14 centuries of conquest and tyranny. That makes it the biggest GENOCIDE in history. ~~~ CLICK ON IMAGE to read why Islam hates you, in their own words, and learn more about the Muslim genocide

BRITISH TAXPAYERS OUTRAGED at EU spending their money building ILLEGAL ARAB SETTLEMENTS in Israel

FOR SEVEN YEARS ISRAELI AUTHORITIES HAVE DONE NOTHING to stop the EU building of illegal Arab settlements on Jewish land ~~~~~ While Israel has frozen construction across the Green Line, and razes the tiniest house addition or Jewish unauthorized outposts on the hills, Arabs keep building ILLEGAL SETLEMENTS with impunity, and with the funding and assistance of the European Union. Those settlements are in internationally-recognized Israeli land (Area C), thus the EU is not only violating Israeli sovereignty, but its own diplomatic rules of operation in foreign countries. - These illegal Arab settlements are meant to be FACTS ON THE GROUND for the eventual Muslim takeover of Jewish land - EUROPEANS DID NOT WANT JEWS IN EUROPE and murdered MILLIONS of them. Now they don't want Jews in their ancient homeland of ISRAEL either, call them "occupiers," and demand that the land be given to descendants of Muslims who invaded Israel in the 7th century. - The EU (inspired by the Nazi boycotts against Jews) already labels and boycotts products from the Jewish heartland - THE EU WAR AGAINST THE JEWS persists as they contract out the Arabs to continue Hitler's mission of killing Jews. Europe and the United States are the main funders of the Palestinian Authority, contributing to salaries paid to terrorists who murder innocent Israelis..CLICK ON IMAGE TO READ ARTICLE AND WATCH VIDEO

ISIS PLAN FOR INFILTRATING EUROPE AS REFUGEES

Along with Muslim refugees pouring into Europe there is a significant percentage of terrorists from ISIS and other Muslim factions. About 75% of those migrants are young men of military age. - This invasion follows ISIS threat earlier this year to flood Europe with HALF A MILLION MIGRANTS to unleash chaos. - The sudden spike in migration to Europe has been well orchestrated behind the scenes with the willing cooperation of Europeans. ~~~~~~~ Here we have a PERFECT STORM. (1) European leftist political elites need to expand their voting base with benefits-dependent migrants. (2) Business looks forward to cheap labor. (3) Leftists and media blatantly manipulate European shame for the Holocaust.

SATIRE - WHAT THE U.S. AND EU REALLY MEAN BY LAND FOR PEACE

Europe and the US commiserate for the loss of 6 million Jews during the Holocaust. - But they obsessively demand that Israel be partitioned along borders only 9 miles wide at their narrowest point. - These borders and the creation of ANOTHER ARAB TERROR STATE under ISIS or Iran's influence will certainly lead to a Holocaust of 6 million Israeli Jews. - On this SATIRE White House aides promise that if the Arabs massacre the Jews in a shrunk Israel, Israelis should take comfort in the fact that the world will have an annual commemoration of their sacrifice for peace. - Image from Israel Matzav blog - CLICK on picture to read article.

IF JESUS LIVED IN JUDEA TODAY

Jesus would be called a "SETTLER" and Arabs would deny him access to Temple Mount (where Muslim conquerors erected a mosque), and to much of Judea and Samaria (West Bank), today under the control of the Palestinian Authority (PA) where no Jews are allowed. ~~~ Jews who have ventured into the PA have been LYNCHED. ~~~ Jesus would not be safe anywhere in Israel. He would be pelted with ROCKS or STABBED for being a "settler". Or he would be DECAPITATED, as Arabs did to four rabbis praying at a Jerusalem synagogue in 2014. ~~~ If Jesus were a child he would be BURNED BY FIREBOMBS (as Arabs did to a child in December 2014), or have his THROAT SLASHED in his own home, as Arabs did to the Fogel children. ~~~ CLICK on image to read more about the Muslim war against Jews and Christians in today's Judea and Samaria.
