Here's some pics of the newly discovered mammoth caves in Vietnam. Stunning!!!
A giant cave column swagged in flowstone towers over explorers swimming through the depths of Hang Ken, one of 20 new caves discovered last year in Vietnam.

A climber ascends a shaft of light in Loong Con, where humidity rises into cool air and forms clouds inside the cave.

A half-mile block of 40-story buildings could fit inside this lit stretch of Hang Son Doong, which may be the world's biggest subterranean passage.

- continued....
A jungle inside a cave? A roof collapse long ago in Hang Son Doong let in light; plants thickly followed. As "Sweeny" Sewell climbs to the surface, hikers struggle through the wryly named Garden of Edam.

Going underground, expedition members enter Hang En, a cave tunneled out by the Rao Thuong River. Dwindling to a series of ponds during the dry months, the river can rise almost 300 feet during the flood season, covering the rocks where cavers stand.
http://l.yimg.com/bt/api/res/1.2/pfS.../4_040217.jpeg
Like a petrified waterfall, a cascade of fluted limestone, greened by algae, stops awestruck cavers in their tracks. They're near the exit of Hang En.
http://l.yimg.com/bt/api/res/1.2/Xgh.../3_040205.jpeg
continued...
In the dry season, from November to April, a caver can safely explore Hang Ken, with its shallow pools. Come the monsoon, the underground river swells and floods the passages, making the cave impassable.
http://l.yimg.com/bt/api/res/1.2/mAn.../2_040149.jpeg
The trickiest challenge for the expedition team was to find a way over the Great Wall of Vietnam, an overhanging mass of flowstone that blocked the way deep inside Hang Son Doong. Climbing specialists "Sweeny" Sewell and Howard Clarke here work on anchoring bolts to the slippery, porous rock to support the weight of climbers using ropes. Once over the wall, the expedition team discovered a second entrance into the cave.

i was bought an Ireland calendar over Christmas that has an almost identical picture called "The Dark Hedges near Ballymoney" - its taken during a sunny day though. This one is better if you ask me.Quote:

You do get around!
Is it Hong Kong?
Mega-City One?
None of them Termonbarry?
1. 88th Floor, Eureka Skydeck/Tower, Melbourne!
2.
3. Looking back at the Eureka Tower, from St. Kilda.
4.
Yeah Hong Kong (Peak Tower), St. Kilda (towards Melbourne) and Melbourne (from tower) are correct, anyone guess the missing one?
Did you continue down to the end of the pier in St. Kilda and see the wild penguins!? :)
I was there only a couple of weeks ago (went through Hong Kong on the way home too, I wonder has cfdh been following me?) and saw a couple under the rocks. The penguins out at Phillip Island were brilliant.Quote:

An interesting fact I learned about Glenveagh recently; the loch runs from south-west to north-east along the Owencarrow rift, formed in the Paleozoic age (520 million years ago), which eventually links to the coast at Fanad and onward under the sea to the great Scottish Rift Valley that divides Scotland in two through to Loch Ness. If you look at a map, you'll see what I mean.
Great thread, by the way. Only seeing it now. Some lovely photography. I might add a few more, if y'all don't mind...
