What you got?

I just came across the Naica Mine which contains the Crystal Cave Of Giants in Chihuahua, Mexico. The ghostly, transulent crystals have been measured up to 36 feet (11 meters) in height, weighing in at 55 tonnes. They make up the largest natural crystals ever discovered on Earth.

My backyard is pretty cool, and not many people know about it.

They're fully enclosed cool suits. Temps in the cave are well over 140 degrees at all times.

Really? Wow, no wonder it's not a popular tourist attraction.

Very cool to look at, but 140 degrees? No thank you.

This.

It's also always between 90-100% humidity. Without those suits you can't spend more than 10 mins down there.
