Speleothems cast long shadows at cenote Dos Pisos. “This photograph captures the magic feeling of flying through a labyrinth of fragile formations that go from ceiling to floor,” says photographer Martin Broen. “This is a unique environment that took thousands of years to form, that hides hours away from the closest exit and is only illuminated by the light you carry with you.”
