Amazing National Geographic Photos: Crystal Palace

The November 2008 issue of National Geographic has a story, “Crystal Palace,” illustrating a cave full of Fortress-of-Solitude-sized crystals that was found in Mexico. The pictures, taken by Carsten Peter, are amazing. This title image was my favorite. It evokes a fantasy landscape, one where men are reduced to toys next to the scale of the awe-inspiring and unfamiliar.
