“We will be a kilometer back in the cave and the walls will have that little thank you bags—you know the ones you get at the grocery stores? They’ll be stuck to the walls floating in the current. It looks like there are ghosts lining the walls… they end up in these sinkholes and they make our way into our groundwater. But, that’s not the only thing we see back there. You also see tires, you see 55-gallon rums of who knows what. And as you’re swimming past this stuff you’ll see someones water pipe coming down through the ceiling of this cave going directly to their well, directly to their house in fact, and that’s what really brings home how connected we really are to our ecosystem in ways we really don’t realize.“ Kenny Broad, National Geographic Explorer, and Chief Exploration Officer Virtual Wonders ⁣⁣⁣⁣
