my next destination is Mexico where an00:00:08
incredible geological Wonder lies deep00:00:10
under the Earth in a00:00:12
cave but this is no ordinary hole in the00:00:17
ground this may be the most bizarre and00:00:20
dangerous place on the planet I've been00:00:23
to so far right now if we were to stay00:00:25
in here we would absolutely die we would00:00:28
die00:00:51
[Music]00:00:58
w00:01:07
I've explored many of the world's great00:01:12
caves I've been inside giant00:01:15
ones insanely small00:01:20
ones wet00:01:22
ones and scary ones filled with00:01:26
bats and potentially deadly viruses00:01:32
but in Chihuahua Mexico 300 M below the00:01:35
Earth's surface is a huge chamber that's00:01:39
home to one of the most magnificent00:01:40
geological discoveries of all00:01:43
time these spectacular Crystal00:01:46
formations have been inomed in water in00:01:48
this cave for hundreds of thousands of00:01:51
years until it's00:01:55
AC but just preparing for this00:01:57
Expedition has proven to be a challenge00:01:59
in itself00:02:00
self it has taken almost 2 years to get00:02:03
permission to enter the Cave the00:02:05
crystals are delicate and the conditions00:02:08
are so dangerous that only a small00:02:10
number of explorers have gained access00:02:12
to this00:02:14
site the reason it's so dangerous is00:02:17
that directly below the cave is a pocket00:02:20
of 2,000 de molten00:02:24
rock and it's because of this magma00:02:26
chamber that the cave is sitting on that00:02:28
the temperature inside is so incredibly00:02:30
hot 45° C with 95% humidity the only way00:02:35
I can simulate that before I go to the00:02:36
cave is to get into the sauna and crank00:02:39
it right00:02:41
up there are few places on Earth as hot00:02:44
and humid as the cave will be and this00:02:46
sauna is the best way to experience00:02:48
these extreme00:02:51
conditions the idea is I want to see how00:02:53
long I can physically stay in this room00:02:55
stand it because it's going to be00:02:57
horrible in the cave once I'm there I00:02:59
will have a special chilling suit that00:03:01
I'll be wearing but that'll still only00:03:03
help a small amount it'll extend my00:03:06
workable time in the cave from 1500:03:08
minutes to about 45 minutes if I were to00:03:11
stay any longer I would probably lose00:03:13
Consciousness pass out and possibly00:03:18
die the longer I sit inside this Cedar00:03:21
Furnace the more I realize what this00:03:23
Expedition is going to do to my body not00:03:26
to mention our cameras and00:03:28
microphones00:03:36
I want to push myself as hard as I can00:03:37
today in here just to get00:03:40
myself mentally prepared as well as00:03:42
physically prepared for the actual00:03:44
rigors of being in the cave it's going00:03:46
to be probably the most extreme thing00:03:48
that I've ever00:03:57
done on my way to Mexico I make a stop00:04:00
in New York00:04:03
City to scratch another item off my00:04:05
bucket00:04:06
[Music]00:04:13

Chihuahua traveling with fellow00:05:33
Adventurer Nick H who will join me on00:05:35
this incredible00:05:37
journey well Nick and I have made it to00:05:39
Mexico we just touched down in Chihuahua00:05:41
and we're going to check in basically00:05:43
just get a bit of an orientation safety00:05:45
briefing that type of thing and then00:05:47
rest up tonight because tomorrow it's00:05:48
going to be a really long00:05:53
day you're going to be so tired I'm sure00:05:56
I'm sure about that exhausted cuz you00:05:58
know there's00:06:00
for uh more than 50° yes no and the00:06:04
humid it's more than 50 yeah I thought00:06:06
it was 45 uh 45 yesterday was uh 5200:06:12
52 and wow fantastic I cannot wait uh00:06:17
I'm just I'm on Cloud9 I'm so excited00:06:20
cuz I've been literally dreaming about00:06:23
going to this exact spot for 2 years now00:06:26
so I'm like a kid in a candy00:06:30
store of course this candy store can00:06:33
kill00:06:36
[Music]00:06:42
you after 2 years of planning I've00:06:45
traveled 3,000 km to Northern Mexico for00:06:48
a once- in a-lifetime chance to explore00:06:51
one of the most fascinating and00:06:53
dangerous geological wonders of all time00:06:57
well it has been a long track but I can00:06:59
find finally see my destination town of00:07:01
Nika and Nika00:07:06
[Music]00:07:11
Mountain we arrive at the mine and meet00:07:14
up with the team that will assist us on00:07:16
this00:07:19
adventure this mountain has been00:07:21
actively mined for over a 100 years and00:07:24
the shafts run for thousands of meters00:07:28
Underground00:07:30
we begin with a rather claustrophobic00:07:33
25-minute drive down to the staging00:07:36
[Music]00:07:41
area this is amazing this road is carved00:07:44
right into the side of this mountain00:07:47
quite the trip down that's for sure the00:07:49
long dark winding tunnel with no00:07:54
end this is one Wild00:07:58
Ride00:08:06
okay let me give you a little tour of00:08:07
what's going on here this is what we00:08:10
call the antichamber the area before00:08:12
going into the cave and this is the sort00:08:14
of the staging area we've got the00:08:15
cooling packs here over here we've got00:08:18
the freezers for storing the ice for the00:08:22
suits and then down here liquids00:08:25
Refreshments water you need to have a00:08:26
lot of that down here wow every step I00:08:28
take it gets hot00:08:30
then there's the equipment staging area00:08:32
here medical station this is my area00:08:35
here for all my personal gear and then00:08:39
through that metal door is the cave00:08:42
within minutes I can feel the energy00:08:44
draining effects of the climate down00:08:46
here and this is just the beginning just00:08:49
to put things in perspective this is the00:08:51
cool staging area and it is 41° with 54%00:08:56
humidity so it is only going to get much00:08:59
much00:09:00
worse much more impressive is it00:09:03
possible today to go and get a quick00:09:05
look yes the plan is we want you to go00:09:08
to the cave yes no suit just go in fast00:09:10
yes just to feel the the the real heat00:09:13
exactly otherwise you won't understand00:09:16
how your body is behaving in00:09:19
a atmosphere like the extreme00:09:21
environment like that get a taste of it00:09:23
go in and feel it and then realize what00:09:26
the suit is doing exactly when you're00:09:28
wearing it and appreciate00:09:29
how much it's helping you the doctor00:09:31
measur your pressure and measures your00:09:33
oxygen but we want to be sure that you00:09:36
are not going to faint in the caes we00:09:38
would would take a lot of effort to00:09:39
bring you out right so so we need you to00:09:43
Pump Air I just to to measure00:09:46
your volum probably we're going to be00:09:49
here around 8 hours yes 9 it's going to00:09:53
be a long day it's not a long day in00:09:55
hours no but in the conditions it's00:09:57
extreme exactly yeah so this is not a00:10:00
normal workplace this is one of the most00:10:02
extreme environments in the world so so00:10:04
you have to be very careful is the00:10:06
combination of the Sahara Desert and the00:10:08
Amazon Amazon jungle00:10:10
together sit00:10:13
here before we can enter the cave Nick00:10:16
and I must undergo medical00:10:20
testing to ensure that we're fit enough00:10:23
to withstand the stress that these00:10:25
extreme conditions will put on our00:10:28
bodies00:10:30
once the medical team okays us it's time00:10:33
to enter the00:10:35
cave00:10:38
unprotected but nothing can prepare you00:10:41
for what lies Beyond this00:10:43
door oh man that is00:10:47
[Music]00:10:54
unreal I'm about to enter the forbidding00:10:57
climate of the Nika Crystal cave in00:11:00
Mexico it's so hot and humid inside that00:11:03
our cameras immediately fog00:11:05
[Music]00:11:07
up entering the cave00:11:09
unprotected we'll start feeling the00:11:11
effects of heat stroke within00:11:14
minutes watch your footing it's very00:11:17
very00:11:18
uneven it's over 50° in here right now e00:11:23
with about 90%00:11:25
humidity the reason it's so hot in this00:11:27
cave is that it lies on a fault and00:11:29
underneath that fault is a magma chamber00:11:32
it's that hot magma that's heating the00:11:34
groundwater and then heating here with00:11:36
all this incredible00:11:38
humidity just want to get a feel for it00:11:40
right now without the cooling suits so00:11:44
that we can give it a real try later on00:11:46
but look at these crystals my00:11:49
[Music]00:11:51
God these crystals are made of selenite00:11:55
which is crystallized gypsum gypsum is00:11:58
very common mineral it's actually the00:12:01
same thing that's in drywall the Gip00:12:02
rock that you have in your walls at home00:12:05
but these crystals formed in extreme00:12:08
heat when this chamber was filled with00:12:09
water the water was well over00:12:12
50° and was very stable for about half a00:12:15
million00:12:17
years and those conditions are so00:12:20
incredibly unique and so rare that we00:12:22
don't even know if there's anything like00:12:23
this in the world other than this place00:12:26
these crystals weigh about well the big00:12:28
ones weigh about 50 tons if not a bit00:12:30
more each and there's the large crystals00:12:34
here and then there's what I call these00:12:35
sharks teeth these daggers of crystals00:12:38
that are all over the walls and the00:12:41
[Music]00:12:43
floor these is oppressive heat we're in00:12:48
a furnace man it's00:12:50
stifling what's happening is your body00:12:53
is incapable of shedding the heat that's00:12:54
in here so you sweat but it doesn't00:12:56
evaporate your body tries to radiate the00:12:58
the heat but it can't cuz the air is00:12:59
hotter than your skin and so the heat00:13:01
just builds up and your cells basically00:13:03
die so right now if we were to stay in00:13:06
here we would absolutely eventually die00:13:08
we would die how many minutes have we00:13:10
been00:13:13
in I think we need to start working our00:13:15
way back slowly because it'll probably00:13:17
be about 12 minutes by the time we get00:13:19
out of here so that's pushing it too00:13:24
far okay let's go keep going00:13:34
that is just unbelievable it's just hard00:13:37
to imagine how hot it is in there and00:13:39
when you scramble up those last few00:13:41
steps it's just takes it out of you the00:13:43
entrance to the cave is one of the00:13:45
highest points and that makes it one of00:13:47
the hottest points so you really got00:13:49
blasted when you first go in and first00:13:50
come00:13:52
out it feels like walking into a blast00:13:55
furnace a wall of heat hits you and you00:13:58
start to feel the pressure and the Heat00:14:01
and you start to sweat00:14:02
instantly it's like being in the most00:14:05
unbelievably beautiful unbelievably00:14:06
dangerous sauna you can00:14:08
[Music]00:14:15
imagine now that we have everything set00:14:17
for tomorrow's extended exploration it's00:14:20
time to go rest00:14:21
up tomorrow is going to be a challenging00:14:25
[Music]00:14:27
day00:14:29
[Music]00:14:30
[Applause]00:14:31
[Music]00:14:33
and the next morning it's back down the00:14:35
narrow winding tunnel to the00:14:39
antichamber after our exploratory trip00:14:41
yesterday Nick and I now know just how00:14:44
hot it's going to be in00:14:46
there so we really have to get ourselves00:14:48
psyched for this00:14:51
day Nick you got everything prepared00:14:53
you're pretty much good to00:14:57
go00:14:59
the first task is to prepare the00:15:01
specially designed cooling suits which00:15:04
will enable us to safely stay in the00:15:06
oppressive heat of the chamber up to00:15:08
four times as long as yesterday's00:15:10
unprotected00:15:14
entrance the suits basically turn us00:15:16
into human00:15:20
popsicles these ice filled suits help to00:15:23
Shield us from the outside heat while00:15:25
also cooling our core body temperature00:15:27
and providing us with chilled air to00:15:30
breathe but the suit's effectiveness is00:15:34
limited so we have to rely on our00:15:36
instincts and our support team to keep00:15:39
us from experiencing potentially fatal00:15:41
heat00:15:45
stroke okay first cave entry with the00:15:48
cooling00:15:49
suit Manuel and his team will be00:15:52
monitoring us00:15:55
closely only about 60 others have ever00:15:58
EXP explored this cave for good reason00:16:01
Beyond this door is one of the hottest00:16:04
places on Earth in which humans have00:16:06
tried to00:16:07
[Applause]00:16:15
survive inside the Crystal Cave in Nika00:16:18
Mexico the heat and humidity are almost00:16:21
unbearable over 50° C hot enough to kill00:16:26
a person in minutes we wear special00:16:29
cooling suits to hopefully keep us from00:16:31
developing fatal heat00:16:33
stroke although I'm anxious to make the00:16:35
most of my limited time in here the00:16:38
treacherous terrain and bulky suits make00:16:40
getting around a Monumental00:16:56
task every step on these slippery shark00:16:59
tooth crystals has to be carefully00:17:02
calculated00:17:04
W one slip on this terrain could spell00:17:11
disaster what's your00:17:13
putting carrying an injured team member00:17:16
out of the far reaches of this place00:17:18
would be an almost impossible00:17:21
task so we tread carefully over the half00:17:24
million year old Crystal00:17:27
formations what makes the discovery of00:17:29
this one-of-a-kind geological wonder00:17:31
even more fascinating is that until the00:17:34
year 2000 this entire chamber was00:17:36
completely00:17:39
[Music]00:17:44
underwater an interesting thing about00:17:46
the mine here is that this cave is00:17:49
temporary once the mine is no longer00:17:51
viable they're going to turn off the00:17:53
pumps and this whole Cavern will flood00:17:55
yet again just like it was 500,000 years00:17:57
ago totally lost to human00:18:00
eyes this may be my one chance to00:18:03
experience this incredible00:18:15
place so right now I'm sitting up on one00:18:17
of the larger00:18:19
crystals and this is my00:18:21
view00:18:23
totally00:18:25
unreal one of the Curious features of00:18:27
the cave is there are some very big00:18:30
crystals that are broken and fallen on00:18:32
the floor here there's really only one00:18:34
thing that could have caused it and00:18:36
that's an ancient earthquake look at00:18:39
this this00:18:41
Crystal probably weighs about 50 tons00:18:44
but yet it was snapped like it was a00:18:46
piece of dry spaghetti I don't know when00:18:48
it happened but I do know that this cave00:18:51
does lie on a fault line so earthquakes00:18:54
are certainly not unheard of here and00:18:56
this proof positive of that00:18:59
as we struggle to explore as much of the00:19:01
cave as possible we get the sign that00:19:04
our time is almost up you have 1000:19:07
minutes okay I copy that 1000:19:11
minutes with little time or energy left00:19:14
I find a good spot to fulfill my duties00:19:16
to the club to which I proudly00:19:18
[Music]00:19:20
belong00:19:22
that there we are in honor of this00:19:25
exploration proudly displaying the flag00:19:28
of the Explorers Club here in the00:19:30
Crystal Cave of00:19:31
[Applause]00:19:33
[Music]00:19:34
giants this Explorers Club flag has an00:19:37
illustrious history it's been chased by00:19:40
Nazis it's been to Greenland 12,000 ft00:19:42
below the surface of the ocean it's been00:19:44
along the Amazon and now it's been to00:19:47
the Crystal00:19:53
Cave getting so00:19:56
weak we've stayed well beyond what is00:19:58
considered a safe amount of time and our00:20:01
cooling suits are beginning to fail00:20:05
W can't see where my footh holds00:20:09
are our Mexican support team is becoming00:20:12
concerned for our safety and warn us to00:20:14
get back to the antichamber as quickly00:20:16
as possible okay okay we're working our00:20:19
way back we just need to find the00:20:21
way getting low on cool00:20:25
air we're heading out now we have to go00:20:29
right00:20:31
now00:20:33
[Music]00:20:35
okay okay we're already over time we got00:20:37
to get out of here our time is up let's00:20:43
go it takes every ounce of strength we00:20:46
have to get back to the00:20:49
entrance even the sauna couldn't prepare00:20:51
me for the brutal effects of prolonged00:20:53
exposure to these00:20:56
conditions we fin finally make it out00:20:59
and the relatively cool 41° antichamber00:21:02
is a welcome relief okay we're coming00:21:06
out that last entry was supposed to be00:21:09

[Music]Description:
In 2000, a remarkable find was made in Chihuahua, Mexico, of a spectacular cave filled with giant crystals, some over 12 meters long. But it is a intensely difficult spot to explore – with temperatures over 50 degrees C and humidity approaching 100%. George leads an Explorers Club Flag Expedition into the cave, wearing special refrigerated suits and respirators to battle the extreme environment.
