Bro. Stop outing Kal-El! He had to move from the north pole already, now he's gotta pack his crystals up and find somewhere new.

It's weird that visitors have to wear all that protective gear in a cave full of crystals, when every New Age hippy type will tell you crystals have healing powers. Giant sized ones like that should surely give everyone in there instant immortality....?

Even more interesting, the reason they're in suits is because of something called 'wet bulb' temperature. It's so hot and humid in that cave, your lungs would actually fill with water if you were stuck in there without protection.

That uh, adds another layer of danger to the RPG dungeons I've played that look like this. So basically you'd drown just by breathing down there.

I thought the whole thing was that it was super high humidity and temp well above body temp such that the water in the air condenses in your lungs and you drown.

Proudlywoke @lyndiesgirl.bsky.social

The cave is an extremely hostile environment for humans, with temperatures reaching 50°C (122°F) and 90% humidity. Access is limited and requires special cooling suits and limited time frames due to the dangerous conditions.

I'm sure that's correct. I was just thinking of particulates because of how selenite fractures. I've gotten a selenite splinter before, so my first thought was just about what could be in the air.
