i got to go on a day trip (after a back to back mission so i am running on fumes for energy) to a very unique cave in kosovo. The cave was found in the early 70s by a farmer looking for rock for the house he was building. the cave itself is pure marble. There are underground pools, which you have to dive to get to, and are described by the divers as nothing they have ever seen before. There are a type of crytal that forms in this cave that is said to be found in only two other caves in the world. They do not grow straight down but rather curve like snakes. They believe they have a draw to the change in magnetic fields that make them form the way they do.
In the photo i am standing in front of the prized formation in the cave. They call it the Romeo and Juliet formation. They are the longest stalagtite and stalagmite (i know i spelled it wrong but am to tired to care) formations in the cave. they are lucky to have survived the renovation for the tourism. It is estimated that if untouched or any disruption, they will finally kiss in 1.2 million years. The cave itself is 80 million years old and is one of the youngest caves in the region.
