Photo by @shonephoto (Robbie Shone) - On top of Auyán Tepui in Venezuela, Imawari Yueta is one of the most spectacular caves on the planet! It is most unusual because it is formed inside quartzite. A very rare rock that contains caves. During our expedition, we explored its amazing network of beautiful galleries and stunning passages from an underground camp where we were based for four days. This unusual blue looking lake (pictured) was a fascinating highlight. A thin film of bacteria, partly covers the surface and this was an exciting sampling site for scientist Dr. Francesco Sauro and clinical microbiologist Dr. Hosam Zawawi.
This photograph is from a portfolio I made from inside caves on top of extremely remote tepuis (aka table-top mountains) in Venezuela. The scientists we were traveling with were looking for unique forms of bacteria that could help clinical microbiologists in studies into bacterial resistance to antibiotics. It was a fascinating assignment to a very remote and rarely visited part of our world. The diverse environment on top of these tepuis is like no other anywhere on planet Earth, as each tepui is different and home to a unique world. @natgeocreative
