This Never Before Seen Aquamarine Pool Is Hiding Inside Lechuguilla Cave In New Mexico

"Just when you think you’ve seen everything, science unearths a new discovery that showcases the astounding beauty of our universe, whether here on our home planet or out in space. Recently, subterranean researchers made a humble yet fascinating discovery right here in New Mexico.

During an expedition deep into Lechuguilla Cave, a team of explorers came across this pristine, aquamarine pool. It was found in October 2019 but only made public last month. The pool, surrounded by cream and peach-colored minerals, is tiny in comparison to other cave water sources. However, the pastel color palette combined with the presence of human-free bacterial colonies makes this a stunning find."

“The Lake Castrovalva area of Lechuguilla (cave) in Carlsbad Caverns National Park, New Mexico, is very special. It is abundant in very delicate and unique cave formations, and for this reason it is very rarely visited. These formations are simply perfect and pristine. Here, a geologist admires a fine set of rimstones and gours. For millions of years, the cave has been sealed off from human and animal interaction. The cave is so beautiful and so important to science that access is strictly controlled in order to keep the cave in as pristine condition as possible. It is a real time machine, taking us back to a world that was very different to the one we live in today.”

Agave xylonacantha

This Agave species is fairly common in east-central Mexico, and it belongs to a group called the Marginatae, characterized by having the marginal teeth all connected by a strip of tough horn-like material. A. xylonacantha is related to the more northerly-occurring A. lechuguilla, which extends up into Texas, and both are freely offsetting species with flower stalks that tend to bend to the side at the top, as can be seen in the upper photo. But A. xylonacantha is generally a larger plant and has more prominent teeth. The pale greenish-yellow flowers are typical.

Pics: Some of Subterranea's residents.

1. Tyrannus, once a tyrannical Roman emperor. Kept young & vibrant by the Fountain of Youth!

2. Grotesk, underground nihilist wants to totally destroy the surface world...

3. Kro, Deviant scientist & secret 'lover' of the Eternal Thena!!

4. Mole Man, blind leader of the Moloids & Fantastic Four enemy!

1906: The Earth (is) Not Hollow.

Intro: Subterranea is an underground kingdom that was originally home of the Deviants.

It concists of a planet-wide network of caverns deep beneath the surface.

At Monster Island, these tunnels reach to the center of the Earth!!

Ancient Lizard Men, Lava men & many monsters call Subterranea home.

Places of special interest are the areas of Abysmia, the Fountain of Youth, the cities of Lechuguilla & Meramec, the Valley of Diamonds, etc all of them are located down here...

History: 20,000 years ago, the city of Netheria witnessed a Deviant attack on Atlantis!

The Netherians responded by enclosing their city & fortifying their foundations.

When Atlantis sank, Netheria ended up even deeper in the Earth - coming to rest in the Netherworld!

The exiled Tyrannus stumbled upon the Fountain of Youth & came to rule the Tyrannoids!!

Much later, the Mole Man took over a large part of Subterranea - with the help of his Moloids & giant monsters.

Recently, this underworld has seen the rise of the Ani-Men, Mutates & others.

The F.F., the High Evolutionary, Mister Sinister, the Frightful 4, etc have all either visited there or have used these dark depths for hidden bases.

Subterranean War - After civil war 'hit' Deviant controlled Lemuria, Kro was nowhere to be found. So, Brutus assumed the empty throne!

He began reclaiming all lands once belonging to the Deviants - including Subterranea!!

This war spilled out onto the streets of NYC. But, it turned out that these 'invaders' were actually refugees!!

Investigating, the Avengers are all captured by Brutus's forces!

Tyrannus & Mole Man get Hulk's help - by kidnapping his friends, Rick Jones & Betty Banner!!

Attacked at the Fountain of Youth, Hulk triggers a rockfall, burying it!

Once Betty & Rick are safe, Hulk empties out the last of the Fountain's water & laughs as Tyrannus tries to lick it off the dirt floor!!

Then, Tyrannus convulses & dies! Because Brutus had poisoned the Fountain's water...

Meanwhile, an aged Kala seeks out Iron Man's help. But, they're attacked by the Outcasts & Kala's kidnapped!

Iron Man's able to rescue her at the city of Netherland.

The Deviants final attack uses the high tech Oscillatron, which can shatter whole realms apart...

But, the West Coast & Great Lakes Avengers defeat the Deviant forces.

In the aftermath, it's discovered that Brutus is actually a Mutate - passing himself off for a Deviant!

So, his own Mutates rip him apart!!
