A giant crystal cave described as “Superman’s fortress.” Magnificent crystals up to 36 feet long and weighing 55 tons. Scorching-hot temperatures that could kill a human after just 15 minutes of exposure. Those are the descriptions of a newly-discovered cavern deep underground in Mexico that National Geographic is calling “one of the greatest natural marvels on the planet.”
