Another pic from the the #Tresviso caving expedition to the #picosdeeuropa. This was a very unique #speleothem, which (I think) was formed when a stalactite grew long enough to reach a pool of water, growing outwards in all directions into a ball, then the pool of water draining in a later stage of cave development. Do any of my fellow #geologists know what this is called? We affectionately named this chamber 'monkeyfist chamber' in relation to the similar looking climbing knot. (hand for scale)
