I was thinking the same thing.

I agree that they don't look real! I thought the same thing when they were showing previews for the show on Discovery (or whichever channel broadcasted it). It just couldn't be real. I watched the show and they showed extended video of scientists exploring the cave. The show was a bit corny because they were trying to make it sould like it was so hot inside there that the explorers were going to drop dead at any moment. Still, it was amazing to see.

Here's a link to a National Geograpic web page about the show: Crystal Cave

Joanne,

Thanks for the link to the video... I woulda never believed it had I not seen that... It's more like fairy tale stuff than anything else!
