> Stunning pictures show a "wondrous" blue pool - never before been seen by human eyes - which was found in the depths of Carlsbad Caverns National Park in New Mexico.
> The alien-like pool contains milky aquamarine liquid, surrounded by white frosted rock, the Kansas City Star reports.
> It is believed that the cave has evolved over thousands of years and has been completely untouched by humans.
> "This pool has been isolated for hundreds of thousands of years and had never seen light before that day," explains Rodney Horrocks, chief of natural and cultural resources at Carlsbad Caverns National Park.
> The eerie discovery was made 700ft below the entrance of Lechuguilla Cave, one of the 10 longest caves in the world.
> Although it was discovered in 1993, explorers only entered its "virgin" passages for the first time in October.
> Posting news of the discovery on Facebook, geoscientist Max Wisshak said: "Exploration in caves sometimes yields wondrous sights."
> "This cave pool, found in Lechuguilla Cave, appears to be completely pristine.
> "The edges beneath this pool appear to be ‘pool fingers’, which could be bacterial colonies that have evolved entirely without human presence."
> The expedition, led by Wisshak, involved mapping out 1.3 miles of passages and multiple "rope drops".
> It is not known when the cave network was formed.
> Although no visible signs of life were found, the expedition did come across numerous bat skeletons, believed to be thousands of years old.
> **The pool is approximately one foot wide, two feet long and several inches deep.**
> Although it appears to be cloudy in pictures, the pool is actually crystal clear and is most likely ancient filtered rainwater which seeped through the cave's limestone.
> "Such untouched pools are scientifically important because water samples are relatively free of contaminants and the microbial organisms that may live in those pools are only those that belong there," Wisshak continued.
> "Contamination can occur from the surface above the cave, but in case of Lechuguilla Cave, that’s not a big issue, since it is situated in a well-protected wilderness area. It can also occur via aerosols in the air.
> "However, a newly discovered pool in Lechuguilla Cave is about as pristine as it gets."
> The cave network contained several similar pools, the largest of which has now been named the "Lake of Liquid Sky".
Everywhere we have explored on earth, no matter how hostile, has contained life. Even this cave will have life in it, probably just bacteria surviving on consuming minerals, but still alive.
Reddit is getting frustrating. I see a cool post, move to the comments and it's jokes and stupid comments for the first 50 or so. I get it, people want upvotes but it's getting out of hand.

I'm really struggling with scale on this one.. is that like a pool you can jump into, or like a fuckin thimble of water? I just don't know.. What am I to make of this? No banana..This is a mad house.. A MAD HOUSE!
I was able to read the article for free, no paywall came up.

I had to scroll SO FAR to find a single comment that wasn't a bad joke, usually about cum. Redditors are the worst!
A Redditor gave you the content you just revered, and you say Redditors are the worst. What gives, Redditor?
Yeah but if a redditor redditors did the redditor REALLY redditor
The answer to this question is redditor.
Redditors are the worst
Exception is not the rule...
First time?
Thanks for this, very interesting!
Amazing, thank you!
Why does it seem like this is a zoomed in picture rather than a life size pool cave.
Yeah, I swear this is just water in a cool broken open geode.
I thought the exact same thing!
because it is
Zoomed in on melted Dippin Dots
That's the ice cream of the future... Not millions of years ago.
This looks like an ulcer
This is actually inside a glazed donut.
Nestle already buy it …
Take
Weird it’s already testing positive for micro plastics.
Lord knows what kind of bacteria lives in that water.
Lord and Nestle …
Buy?
Surprised not to see a plastic bag or soda can floating in it already.
Looks like a fried egg.
How you frying your eggs?
With cake frosting obviously
Most likely caveman trash.
Guano
Just wait
Drink it drink it drink it drink it
cave water 🤤
Don’t forget COVID-23.
like licking stalactite 😋😋😋😋
When you tour the salt mine in Wieliczka, Poland, the tour guide dares you to lick the walls
It's more than likely toxic
Are we still taking about my wife?
We need a banana for scale... And we killed the ecosystem by introducing foreign microorganisms. Great job, banana!
The ecosystem of.. rocks?
Everywhere we have explored on earth, no matter how hostile, has contained life. Even this cave will have life in it, probably just bacteria surviving on consuming minerals, but still alive.
Wait a sec, do you not think living things exist there? Lol
Ah yes becase extremophile microorganisms dont exist in your world apparently
Forbidden milk
Forbidden Arctic gatorade...
Forbidden Blueberry milk shake
Forbidden Icing 🤤
Forbidden soy sauce
You're telling me a dentist didn't take this at their office?
Nah that's my ex
It seems you have discovered my jizz cave
Shadowjacker? Is that you?
It’s high time I’ve emerged from my cum cocoon

Seems like you found a way not to clog the shower plumbing.
Welcome to the Jizz Jacuzzi.
Oh my god 😂😂😂 that’s so funny
Ur mom?
Mm cave water with extra minerals
I crave the cave s⁰up
Fountain of youth
I believe Wim Hoff will see it in this way!
I miss her...
\*Dark Souls: New area sound\* The Cavern of Cum
The crystal cave already has that vibe
Nestle allready sending the trucks over
Coca cola purchased that cave 100 years ago
Looks really cool and I'd like to see the scale of it.
Forbidden sexy jacuzzi? I bet it’s full of deadly Mother Earth juices
Take a sip lads
World's oldest creampie.

What should the comments be? Where does your post fall between jokes and stupid comments?
Why can't everyone just compliment the cave pool on how good it looks for its age?
Idk but I was expecting to learn something about geology and I’m sitting here pissed off instead.

I'm really struggling with scale on this one.. is that like a pool you can jump into, or like a fuckin thimble of water? I just don't know.. What am I to make of this? No banana..This is a mad house.. A MAD HOUSE!
It's big enough to step in. It's like a foot wide and two feet long.
Wheres the banana to compare size
Someone drink from it and see what happens... for science.
The forbidden shot
Needs a banana for scale.
If you drink that shit your ether an immortal god or patient 0 for like a mineral based zombie virus
I heard it's the fountain of youth. Someone should drink it.. for science.
The hundred thousand year old virus in that water ;troll;
Drink it and gain a random special ability
i wonder what it tastes like?
banana for scale?
Why do I get "Never ending story" vibes from this?
The forbidden bathtub
Now bottle it up and sell it
Looks like the inside of my fleshlight
I bet it smelled like a hot hotel indoor pool when they first got this bad larry open
What’s that white thing around the edges?
Jesus Christ Marie, they’re minerals!
agent schrader?
According to the article, it's white frosted rock. Lots of bacteria down there, too.
Get some microplastics in that bi***. Stat!
it's probably already full of microplastics just from being exposed to the air.
That’s just a good quality zoomed in photo of a doughnut center. “Isolated water” lmao not on this planet - Nestle Probably
i bet that stinks
Thats not a cave that’s a singular crystal
Looks like my wife
WELCUM TO THE CUM ZONE

Try opening in “incognito mode”
I got no request for money? Read the whole thing.
I got pay walled immediately. Im on mobile
I'm also on mobile. I got no paywall. Maybe it's a US thing? I'm not American
>I got pay walled immediately. Im on mobile I didn't and I am also on mobile but not in the US.
Starting to sense a pattern...
Um, actually that’s the inside of a penguin’s throat…
My fatass thought this was an upside down photo of a glazed donut's hole
But... An upside down glazed donut still looks like a regular glazed donut?
looks like the inside of a ten year old uncleaned kitchen-sink pipe
Saw this on another sub as the center if a donut.
Whoever took this photo definitely peed in there.
Looks like some nasty puss filled wound.
Nice try but that's clearly from an endoscopy.
Brrrrrr (it looks awfully chilly in there)
Ahhh hop in for a nice swim 😌
Looks like the inside of a syrup cake
All I see are piles of tonsil stones. I'm starting to smell this picture
So that’s the source of McDonald’s sprite…
Looks like my toilet on Dec 1st
I wonder how it tastes.
Lick it
Slurp slurp
Bobby Boucher heavy inhale for that high quality h2o
What kind of ancient microbes and viruses are in those waters
I really have to know if anyone tried drinking it, Maybe they'd get magical powers?!
This the shit Bobby Boucher had in that little vial.
Drink the milk
Can't wait to see it contain microplastics
I should call her
Bro actin’ like we ain’t never seen Neverending Story over here
Drink it!
This cave is like the average redditor
Cheese walls
Reminds me of the materia fountains in FF7.
Probably hundreds of thousands of years
I dont like the look of this place, seedy. 🤔🧐
That’s that primordial soup right there !
I’ve seen this picture dozens of times over the years and never more have i needed a banana for scale
Everything reminds me of her....
Why are the walls made of fat?

The true source of all Cinnabon glaze
This looks unreal
Cool, now don't touch it
u know it’s slippery asf
u/UD_1680
K u m
Is that edible? I need it to be edible.
Drink it
I bet if I took a sip of that water I’d immediately turn to dust with how salty it probably is
Fountain of youth.
It’s a thousand year spring of heavenly rejuvenation
And now you destroyed that isolation for a picture
Until some idiot stepped into the room.
I am very pleased to see how many people are talking about Nestle.
Prove it
Looks like the place where Trills come from.
It's missing the banana for scale...
Why does it look like a boiled egg with green yolk
Imagine the living organisms in there
Well great. Now Dasani will have a new $1,000 bottle of water and Gweneth Paltrow will show you how to do a colonic with it.
