Spectacular Crystal Cave 1000ft Under Mexican Desert
The name of the cave is Naica Mine, it is located 1000ft under ground, and  it was discovered by two miners that was also brothers when they were  drilling into the Naica lead. The chamber of the crystals is known as  Crystal Cave of Giants.The biggest crystals weigh 55 tons and are measuring up to 36 feet long.
They are blade-sharp and dangerous, but awesome to look at. From the   pictures you would suppose that it is freezing cold in the cave, but  it is about 112F, and the cavers need to bring cooled air in   backpacks and be protected by special suits for the conditions.
