spent two days digging a hole in a cave for ✨geology✨ reasons!

we need to find the bedrock floor of the cave because at no point in the cave is the bedrock visible and we just don't know where it is. We also want to look at the stratigraphy below the mud and soil layers! The pictures don't really show it but we got down to like 12 feet so far.

Caves are weirder and more varied than you think

Cave fish time!!

Cryptotora thamicola or the waterfall climbing cave fish are extremely rare, found in only eight caves on the border of Thailand and Myanmar. Like most cave fish they are blind and pigmentless but what makes them special is there ability to cling to walls and climb up flowing water.

cavers will have the most beautiful family and their dream high paying career and for fun they’ll learn string theory to fit between atoms in order to explore a crack called “satan’s asshole’s point of no return” and then their inevitable death will be publicized as something like “the peepee poopoo hole incident”
