🧵The cenotes in Mexico
These freshwater pools are the result of the collapse of limestone caves. In the Yucatan Peninsula alone, there are over 6,000 cenotes.
There are open cenotes, semi-open ones, and completely closed ones, underground, and each of them has a different habitat.

@OddestHistory_ Such brutality in that place! You reminded me of a Netflix series where they showcased the worst prisons around the world..unbelievable and horrible realities!
Thor's Well - Oregon, US 📍
The well is essentially a collapsed sea cave that, during high tide and storms, transforms into a spectacular blend of waterfalls and geysers.
@face_riddler I didn't even know about it, I came across it while browsing the internet, so I looked up what it was because I thought it was a strange jellyfish... and then I found out it wasn't poisonous, so I thought of sharing it!
The Velella jellyfish are a species of hydrozoa that float in open waters. They are also known as 'by-the-wind sailors' for their ability to move propelled by the wind, thanks to the small translucent sail that protrudes from the water.
They are not poisonous to humans and feed on plankton.
