Scientists Get Caught In Terrifying ‘Underwater Avalanche’

Broad and his group have been study these formidable underwater caves given 2008 as partial of NatGeo’s Blue Holes Project

The caves, that offer as aquifers and collect the rainwater that filters through a limestone above, are “among the slightest complicated and many threatened habitats

But study them involves navigating a fraudulent and claustrophobic territory, and afterwards taking samples and gnawing photos, all of which takes time — a singular commodity when you’re underwater.

And there’s always a risk of astonishing complications, including underwater avalanches, that can outcome in little to no visibility.

As a precaution, a group always runs a guideline (think Theseus and a Minotaurgolden rule

“You have to assume that you’re gonna come out in no visibility,” Broad says in a video. “Without that line, we have low contingency of removing out.”
