Anybody else see this? Incredible! It doesn't even look like Earth.

Doesn't even look real in the picture. Looks like somebody cropped the guy in.

I know, it looks like Superman's arctic fortress, doesn't it? But it's real - I watched a TV special on it last night, too.

I saw it on TV last night, I'm a geology major...kinda caught my attention. It's amazing what this earth makes all on her little lonesome. It's just amazing.

That's pretty awesome!!

My wife and I visited Ruby Falls near Chattanooga this past summer and it was amazing. They say there is a waterfal further into the mountain that is twice as high, but very few have been there to see it. You have to be careful not to drink any of the water becase it is full of magnesium and you will crap yourself before you make it out of the cave.

Did you ride the 'choo choo' while you were there?
