Wow. Real shame about this:
Then again, thanks to the high temperatures and things, they're not really suitable for being opened to the public. |

Oh yes, I found out these caves can kill people in 30 minutes. |

I wonder whether the further caves will be explored eventually? The thing is, that would require the demolition of some of the crystals... |

I wouldn't want that. It would ruin the beauty. |

I'm guessing there wouldn't be a way in that avoids the caves that have already been explored? Probably not economically viable to do that, though, since these are hardly likely to open as a tourist attraction any time soon. |

I'm actually hoping that it doesn't open to the public. These kinds of things deserve to be left alone. |

Well, if a cave like this is opened to the public, it's only a matter of time before some idiot comes along and starts breaking things. It's happened at a couple of caves I've been to. |

Yep . I think they managed to stick it back together in the end, but it wasn't the same.

Well, not within our lifetimes, at least, given how slowly they develop. |
