Unlike the glacier caves we've seen before, this one is a brilliant crystal blue color, which apparently is a rarity. As Örvar states in this story, "On my trip with Skarpi last weekend we visited this ice cave I have twice before attempted to enter but been turned back by unfavorable conditions. This time however the lengthy cold spell and good weather made sure the cave was accessible and in prime conditions. "Flowing from Europe´s largest ice cap Vatnajökull the glaciers contain centuries old ice which has seen all its air pressed out of it turning it into this crystal blue ice.
Not all ice caves have this colored ice but Vatnajökull seems to produce the right conditions for them to form. "Shooting this shot we decided to play models in the entrance. So beautiful that it's hard to believe that places like this actually exist. Cave of Crystal Giants. In a nearly empty cantina in a dark desert town, the short, drunk man makes his pitch.
Beside him on the billiards table sits a chunk of rock the size of home plate. Dozens of purple and white crystals push up from it like shards of glass. "Yours for $300," he says. "No? One hundred. This remote part of northern Mexico, an hour or so south of Chihuahua, is famous for crystals, and paychecks at the local lead and silver mine, where almost everyone works, are meager enough to inspire a black market. Nothing compares with the giants found in Cueva de los Cristales, or Cave of Crystals. It takes 20 minutes to get to the cave entrance by van through a winding mine shaft.
Hierve el Agua - Mexico’s Freeze Frame Falls. As you approach Hierve el Agua you would be forgiven for thinking that you are about to witness close up one of nature’s magnificent sites – that of a large, full flowing waterfall.
However, closer inspection would reveal to you that what you thought was water cascading down the side of a hill is something else entirely. Very much of the beaten track and little visited the waterfall is in fact a natural formation of rock. In Spanish the name means the water boils but it looks more as if it has been frozen – perhaps there was some irony on the lips of the person who gave the place its name. Later, however, we will discover the reason for the name.
Just over 70 kilometers from Oaxaca City in the eponymous state, the closest town to Hierve el Agua is San Lorenzo Albarradas which only has a population of a little over two thousand people. However, the water in the springs is over saturated with minerals, particularly calcium carbonate. First Image Credit Flickr User Danny Playami.
