This passage is called the airblower. It's 30 feet long and requires wiggling the whole way to get through. It's slightly downhill as you go into the cave, so you can't wriggle backwards uphill. Cavers going through have webbing tied off to them so if they get stuck you can pull them back out. It's ten inches wide at its narrowest point and requires you to exhale to squeeze through.

There is absolutely no way that I'm doing this. Would you?

Hmm... I'm pretty little and somewhat limber still, so I think, physically, I could handle it. But how long does it take to traverse in that horribly unnatural way? If it is more than 15 minutes, I would probably say no.

By 1944, women in Italy were desperate for consumer goods.

Is anything worn beneath the kilt?

No, it's all in perfect working order, madam.

Cool picture. Makes me wonder, the pilots have oxygen masks so they can breathe in the unpressurized cockpits. Are the cockpits heated? He's not all bundled up. They have to be heated, right? It is like a car with air vents blowing on him, or does he have a heated seat and heated stick and so forth?

Not 100% sure but I think some have heated suits.

Damn, is that second one a dramatic pic, or what? Telephoto compression at work. The description said the plane "is at least 300 meters (~1000 feet) from" the assploding lava.

First pic is paragliders at Mt. Fuji. Second is Holuhraun, Iceland.

I just went through this entire thread. There are some damn outstanding pics in this thread.
