    Hi! Mexican here, and i actually had enter the Cave of Crystals once in 2009.
    It was through a special permit for an international event that i was working as staff tho.
    They only let you enter to the "window" that is a kinda the door of the cave, and is behind an actual wind to protect the area from the rest of the world and protect you from the heat, the heat is really a thing, in only 30s of being there you start sweating buckets like never you had before, also, a warning, most of phone cameras get fogged because any humidity gets condensed in any glass or cold surfaces so... not good for trying to take good picures of the crystals inside...

    There's a really cool balancing rock in Atlantic Canada where it looks like if the wind blew too hard, it would topple into the ocean! It's a large pillar, and for it to be standing upright, overhanging the edge of a cliff, is pretty impressive. It's on an island called Long Island in the Bay of Fundy if anyone is curious.

    It pinned him and he died of heat stroke and/or possible drowning.

    One can see these basalt columns in eastern Washington, too. A geology professor I watch on YT even dropped his hammer between two of them! A long time later, someone got a strong magnet, lowered it down and retrieved it for him. The guy said there was nothing but dry sand at the base of the columns!

    The chromatic springs in yellowstone park are due to rubish being thrown in and causing the bacteria growing as a result. The "water" is primarily hot (nearly boiling) slurpheric acid, which the park rangers will readily tell you about. You might want to mention the "rubbish/trash" aspect of the feature. Yes, I've been there, that's how I know.

      Whoever told you that is flat-out wrong. Virtually nothing that lives on ordinary domestic rubbish could survive in Grand Prismatic Spring. The colours are all produced by bacteria that use those specific pigments in photosynthesis; that also means they have no need for external food sources. And the bacteria have all had to evolve to be specifically adapted to the extreme heat, which doesn't happen in ordinary environments

      Without protection, you'd be dead inside of 10 minutes. In that environment, the moisture in your lungs would condense until they filled with so much fluid that you would drown.
