November:
National Geographic Magazine: Crystal Palace.
Cavers confront in Mexico extreme conditions and extraordinary beauty: The Naica caves are unique in the world, not only that they inherit the biggest crystals on earth, so called megacrystals. The conditions to explore are also exceptional: More than 111° Fahrenheit (44°C) and a humidity ranging from 80 to 100% get you fast in the vicinity of a heatstroke. These circumstances demand a huge infrastructure like newly developed cooling suits. A close collaboration with Speleoresearch & Film and La Venta was essential for the success of this extreme photo coverage as well as more than my bodyweight of sweat. Read and see more about this incredible jewel in the November issue of National Geographic.
