A stunning pool that is 700 feet below the surface can be seen in the Carlsbad Caverns National Park in New Mexico.
The seemingly “virgin” cave lake was found in the largest and most well-known cave in the world, Lechuguilla Cave in New Mexico.
The entrance to the cave, which is also one of the tallest (or deepest) in the world, was found to be 213 meters below ground. This suggests that no previous instances of people visiting the cave exist.

The white frosted rock around the pristine pool that was discovered in the network of caves gives it an almost surreal appearance. Although the water appears to be milky and murky, this is only a trick of the eye.
The pool’s “crystal pure” water, according to geoscientist and expedition leader Max Wisshak, is thought to have been created by ancient rainwater that seeped through the limestone above and fell or slid along the cave walls into the pool.
Before that day, this pool had been dark for hundreds of thousands of years, according to Rodney Horrocks, director of natural and cultural resources at Carlsbad Caverns.
Unfortunately, human pollution has tainted practically everything, which is why having a clean pool is so important. Even in the depths of Antarctica, the ecosystem is contaminated by trash and other human-made items. For science, a perfect example of nature is a rare treat.
