JOURNEY TO THE GIANT CRYSTAL CAVE
An international team of scienti-
sts and explorers join their exper-
tise and risk their lives to explore
and research the Naica Crystal
Cave, where the biggest and
most stunning crystals on Earth
have been recently discovered.
They enter this fragile yet lethal
environment with special suits
developed for this exploration
to protect themselves from the
high temperature and humidity
of the cave, where the human
body would not survive for more
than 8 minutes. This is the story
of a journey to the centre of the
Earth, where a handful of scien-
tists will try to unlock the cave’s
secrets and discover what lies
under our feet.
One hour science special as aired
by NatGeo US, Discovery Cana-
da, Discovery LA, NHK and La7.
An astounding discovery which
took the scientific community
by surprise: a cave full of gigantic
crystals, in the state of Chihuahua
(Northern Mexico), of a size whi-
ch one would think unimagi-
nable. Yet, this magical place is
extremely dangerous. Tempera-
ture (50°) and humidity (100%)
are such that no human being
could survive in it for more than
8 minutes without protection. A
handful of trained scientists take
a journey to the centre of the
Earth to discover Naica’s secrets.
