🐘 ICYMI: In the pitch-black chambers of #MountElgon's #Kitum Cave, African #savannah #elephants use their tusks to scrape volcanic rock for #sodium, #calcium, and #magnesium.

Generations of herds have hollowed out these deep mineral chambers, passing down an unusual #mining tradition found nowhere else on #Earth.

🐊 NEW: In #Gabon’s #Abanda Caves, dwarf #crocodiles roughly 1.5 meters long live in permanent darkness among mounds of bat guano.

Researchers knew the reptiles ate #bats but had never observed the hunt until remote cameras caught them snatching bats mid-flight. The #underground population, first documented in 2010, is genetically isolated and developing an orange hue from the acidic #guano.

The once top-secret abandoned bomb facility hidden in an old slate mine. Step inside the subterranean labyrinth of Llanberis Bomb Store, Wales.

In the 1930s the slate quarry became a vast RAF munitions store.

In January 1942, the roof collapsed burying 14,000 tonnes of bombs (14% of Britain's stock). It took until the 1970s to fully clear the site of bombs.

💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🩲🌱 In 2021, researchers launched a citizen-science project that asked about 1,000 volunteers in #Switzerland to bury #cotton underwear and tea bags in #soil.

After two months, participants dug up the items, photographed the damage, and mailed the samples for analysis. The results showed faster #decomposition in residential #gardens, while #lawns and farmlands tended to be less active.

The water has remained #underground since the #IceAge more than 11,000 years ago. The isolated #environment contains hundreds of fungal species alongside tiny #worms and #tardigrades.

💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🐟🕳️ Scientists have described a new eyeless #cavefish species from an #Alabama #cave naming it after the #Demogorgon from #StrangerThings.

The #fish lacks #eyes and pigmentation living in complete darkness with specialized senses for its #underground #habitat. Researchers emphasize the species extreme rarity and vulnerability to groundwater #pollution.

💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🍄🌍 Scientists mapped arbuscular #mycorrhizal #fungi – the #underground fungal threads that connect #plant roots.

Analyzing over 16,000 #soil cores from 322 studies, they found the network stretches 110 quadrillion(!) km in the topsoil, long enough to reach the #Sun nearly a billion times. #Grasslands and #prairies hold the densest networks, while #farming reduces fungal density by nearly half.

Kyiv Type Foundry have digitised six typefaces from historical Kyiv subway station signage. Their new 'Metro Fonts' are free for Ukrainians to use, donation-based for the rest of the world. Donations will be given to those in need.

🕳️ The Waterloo & Victoria Tunnels, from Edge Hill district down to the Liverpool docklands.

Opened in 1849, they effectively form a single, continuous two-mile subterranean passage. Two distinct names based on their original hauling technology.

The tunnels were closed in 1972 due to the decline of the north docks and transatlantic ship travel, which rendered them redundant.

Die Tropfsteinhöhle Kastania auf dem südlichen Peloponnes zeigt eine dichte Landschaft aus farbigen Stalaktiten und Stalagmiten, die sich über Millionen von Jahren Schicht für Schicht aufgebaut haben. Zwischen den bunten Ablagerungen aus Kalk und Mineralien entstehen Formen, die an Vorhänge, Tintenfische, Korallen oder kleine Elefanten erinnern. Mein Guide deutet immer neue Figuren in den Skulpturen an der Decke und am Boden, was die Fantasie zusätzlich anregt. Trotz der Inszenierung bleibt das Bewusstsein, dass all diese Gebilde allein durch Wasser, Kalk und Zeit entstanden sind.

I can't help but think, when I was composing this image, that it looked like a modern interpretation of Dante's 'Descent Into Hell'!
It is in fact part of the London Underground Jubilee Line Extension at Westminster, constructed after the buildings around the station were demolished and the sub-surface station was completely reconstructed as Portcullis House, which sits above the station, was being built.
This deep-level station involved the excavation of a 39-metre (128 ft) deep void around and beneath the sub-surface station to house the escalators to the Jubilee line platforms.
The void you see here was the deepest ever excavation in central London and was carried out between thick reinforced concrete walls, reinforced and braced horizontally for stability.

A Second World War air raid shelter, filled with fascinating portraits scrawled on the walls.

Inside one of the chambers is a time capsule underground art gallery, of sorts. The walls are covered with around 20 portraits, mostly drawn in charcoal or soot. Many depict women with 1940s hairstyles, alongside soldiers and well-dressed men. Some are signed with initials.

37. Subway

🧠 The way the drivers are so visible in the new trains (soon to be driverless) really emphasises how tiny they are!

⭐ It's harder than it looks to get a decent shot of a train drawing in to a station and still moving, especially timing it to feature the station name. I think I've managed to do it OK. I like how the light on the wall looks like daylight coming in a window but it's actually the light at the front of the train.

➡️ I've tried and failed a few times to get either train or background blurred with the other sharp.

Some caves make you feel like an explorer.
Ruby Falls made me feel like I’d accidentally triggered a side quest in an RPG - complete with the voice of the guy who discovered it echoing through the speakers. All that was missing was a boss fight at the end.
Instead, there was a waterfall. Probably the best kind of plot twist 😀
