(19,204 posts)about these caves, and researchers can't remain in them for over 60 minutes (or some short period of time such as that) because the temperatures are ghastly high down there. Even with oxygen tanks they can only remain for short periods of time. Too bad. Poking around in there would be amazing! Some of those crystals have been growing for millions of years. What am I talking about? God put those crystals there 6,000 years ago. Silly me!
