"The most outstanding rock formation on this island can be found along the western coast and is shaped like an elephant head, with its curious appearance resembling a pachyderm with the trunk being positioned under the Atlantic Ocean.

Known as Elephant Rock, it was formed by one of the many volcanic eruptions in Heimay's history."

connaissance que s'ils étaient vraiment fainéants ils n'auraient pas lu les notes que j'avais partagé pour l' #exam de #philo et qu'ils avaient juste des lacunes dans leurs méthodes d'apprentissage, que le fait qu'ils aient une bonne #note ne changeait rien à son #évaluation... Il m'a dit que je les aidait pas, je leur ai dit que la #philo était pas au programme de leurs #formations #Pro sportives etc vers lesquelles ils se dirigeaient... 🤦‍♀️ #élitisme #méritocratie

#Karstmas day 8

One of my first caves in Spain was actually a new cave. We were walking along a old logging road and found a hole, so of course, you climb down *inside* the hole, and it was a cave!

The first room you had to crawl through, but there were these really neat formations I'd never seen before, nor seen since. I called them "Swizzle Sticks" - they were much like soda straws formations but instead of being smooth, had the very crinkled variegated texture to them. I'm not sure how they formed, exactly.

We returned later in the week and surveyed this cave, giving it the name Extra Special Pot (ESP) as a nod to a friend and fellow caver who had recently passed, whose nickname was Eddie Sharp Pencil, or ESP for short. As you can guess, he was a very good project caver.

A low ceiling cave as noted by the person sitting scrunched up. The main focus of the image is the quite long straw-like formations that are very variegated, zig-zaged, stack of cheerios, or like a scrunched up swizzle straw. The most impressive one is only about a centimeter at thickest, and over half a meter long, swizzled the entire way from root to tip. Giving a sense of scale is a white male with red beard in a yellow helmet, his black shirt blends him into the background.
