Bonus calcite cave drapery from Black Chasm with @xenolith.bsky.social, @edithrojas.bsky.social and yours truly for scale. This is from my good camera, so I look normal. One of the gals has an iPhone shot that tried to interpret my face in low light and made me look like a bad painting restoration.
A nicely lit cave drapery that kinda looks like an ice cream cone scoops melting over the side of an invisible coneAnother shot of the drapery, but with three people standing in front of it in the shadows with the drapery well it. The drapery looks like it’s probably about 10 feet tall in total

I also made it to the top of the tallest waterfall in Europe!!! 100/10 recommend the view. 0/10 recommend trekking straight up and back down while raining!

The 0.5 seconds of visibility we had in a 4 hour trek up… Honest question: why do they hate switchbacks in Norway? 🇳🇴🇳🇴

You might enjoy reading Ed Myers. The story is centered on a Latin American volcano, and psychology of his characters may resonate. www.goodreads.com/series/14934...

Enough that governments around the world fund volcano observatories. Hazard monitoring, eruption forecasting, and evacuation planning save lives every year. That’s literally why the field exists 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
