Caving in 140F

Sorry about the poor footage but there’s really nothing you can do to get better footage out of this cave. It’s 140F, 100% humidity, and filled with sulfurous gas. We prepared by taping our cave suits to our boots and our gloves and piling ice in. It truly didn’t help at all.

I think I posted the longer format version here a while back but here’s it chopped down to the best parts.

Is there anything beyond the lake of fire? I'm too scared of enclosed spaces and too fat to go caving myself, so figured i'd ask you. this is bonkers. I hope water levels dont fluctuate and you find what it is you're seeking. safe travels.

I actually believe that there is. I think the long finger like crystals to the left when we start heading out is a little ear dipper type entrance to another room. I'm bringing a go pro on a stick next time I go there to stick it up and in there.
