and maybe
80 90 meters deep i don't know it's huge
we can't see it's very dangerous
but you're going through this little
tunnel and you come out into this room
and at the end there's a huge
we were exploring some new terrain
and we didn't have a chance to practice
the routine like we would normally do in
a space walk the space station is very
familiar to us compared to this
this is like an alien landscape and i
think from the standpoint of exploration
this is very much like a spacewalk on
the surface of a planet like mars where
you're really not sure what you're going
to find but all of those things that i
mentioned before really matter your
equipment your body awareness
positioning and if you're going up and
down cliffs and caves you'll be using
equipment exactly like we use here
so all in all today i think i would feel
exactly the same if i'd been on mars as
i was in this cave and the landscape was
absolutely spectacular
it's amazing to see the beauty of the
caves and i looked at this mountain that
we're in from the outside and now i have
a completely different image of it from
the inside
a beautiful
new perspective and that is something
that exploration gives to us
so
i walked into a room
a massive cavern standing on the edge
and looking out over all these
boulders that had fallen and it was like
being on mars here it's a very alien
landscape it's
lots of large rocks but they're very
loose none of them are together they're
covered with mud
they almost look like ancient dinosaur
bones they could have been like this for
a year or a thousand years we don't
really know
we've been exploring further and further
into the cave and today we have seen
this magnificent galleries beautiful it
looked to me like waterfalls of
speliotherms just absolutely incredible
foreign
ciao
you
