"Until you notice the orange-suited men clambering around, it's hard to grasp the extraordinary scale of this underground crystal forest. Nearly 1,000ft below the Chihuahua Desert in Mexico, this cave was discovered by two brothers drilling in the Naica lead and silver mine. It is an eerie sight. Up to 170 giant, luminous obelisks - the biggest is 37.4ft long and the equivalent height of six men - jut across the grotto like tangled pillars of light; and the damp rock of their walls is covered with yet more flawless clusters of blade-sharp crystal."

I'm always amazed by the new discoveries we are still making, both here on earth and in space, that show how creative God really is. Imagine a cave 1,000 ft. below the Mexican desert with this kind of beauty in it? I wonder how many other discoveries still await us.

I always wonder what's in the depths of the sea. There's so much uncharted territory in the depths of the oceans! Fascinating! Amazing picture, by the way!
Wonderful, beautiful, amazing, there just aren't enough adjectives to describe this! My daughter needs a current event science article every 6 weeks and she was thrilled when I showed her this. Thank you for starting our day with a reminder of God's greatness and creativity (and the help with homework).
