World’s Largest Cave Passage

There’s a jungle inside Vietnam’s mammoth cavern. A skyscraper could fit too. Hang Son Doong, or “mountain river cave,” is in a remote part of central Vietnam. Hidden in rugged Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park near the border with Laos, the cave is part of a network of 150 or so caves, many still not surveyed, in the Annamite Mountains. You can read the full story of the cave explorers expedition here.

Fantasy novelist: Alright, time to create my fantasy world. Great thing about this genre is that I can make it anything I want. Could be based on any culture in any place from any time. Could be a mix of places and times, or something newly invented by me. Yup, there is literally nothing out of bounds here.

osteocentric:

The mineral component of bone is comprised mostly of the calcium phosphate mineral hydroxyapatite which is embedded in the organic component type I collagen. When bone is exposed to a mildly acid environment the mineral component leaches out leaving only the pliable organic component. Vinegar is safe to use and does not destroy the protein scaffolding that gives bone it’s characteristic shape. This is a human fibula tied in a knot.

Reblogging my most popular post to let everyone know that Osteocentric has moved to Facebook.

victusinveritas:

Did you know:
Apparently, bats can’t glide like birds can…
due to being bats and not having brittle birdlike bones but saying fuck you to gravity anyway and flying like the mammalian moth-munching MiGs of the (m)night they are…
Something I learned today, anyway, and given my source, it’s probably true…
and if not…well, now you’re thinking about bats.

It’s a beautiful home! By way of griseus:

This is an awesome man-made shell; made of glass by Robert DuGrenier, and was commissioned by the New Zealand Marine Studies Center and Aquarium so guests could see the inner workings of the hermit crab.

Hamilton Pool

Just 23 miles west of Austin, Texas is a breathtaking natural oasis emerging out of the desert dust and scrub grass. More than a century ago, the natural dome that once concealed the entire grotto underground collapsed and created what is now called Hamilton Pool.

Hamilton Pool is a natural spring formed in the limestone bedrock and fed by an underground river, which also feeds the small tributaries and lush flora surrounding the pool. The abundant freshwater has allowed a diverse population of trees and vegetation to emerge surrounding the pool, forming a beautiful protected nature preserve.

Book Riot's "Five Books to Watch for in June":

mttbll:

Thanks to Liberty Hardy at Book Riot for including In the House upon the Dirt between the Lake and the Woods as one of her “Five Books to Watch for in June,” alongside books by Joelle Charbonneau, Colum McCann, Eugene Ruge, and Sara Gran. She writes, ”Put Italo Calvino, Cat Valente and the Grimm Brothers in a blender, and you get Matt Bell. In the House is about a husband and wife who live—say it with me now—in a house upon the dirt between the lake and the woods. The couple’s attempts at starting a family are unsuccessful and beginning to take a toll on their relationship. Add to the blooming mysteries and suspicions one sly unborn baby, an extra moon, and a bear, and you have an effing amazing debut novel. This is one hell of a book.”
