跟着科考队去寻访“奇幻地宫”
喀斯特地貌几乎成了广西的一个代名词。正因为这样的地貌，创造了不少大自然的美景。“The Karst landform is almost a synonym of Guangxi province. Because of this kind of geography, a lot of natural beautiful scenery has been created.”。近日，一支由中外探险家组成的科考团队在河池新发现了一个“奇幻地宫”。这个地宫到底有什么特别？让我们跟随科考团队的脚步去寻访一下吧。“A team of Chinese and foreign explorers discovered a fantasy underground palace in Hechi recently. Is there anything out of ordinary about this palace? Let's take a look.”。
经过5天的探险考察，科考团队在河池金城江附近发现了一个洞穴。“After five days exploration and investigation, the team found a cave near Jinchengjiang.”。洞穴由6个水平大厅串连组成，洞内钟乳石洁白精美、形态各异，高大的石柱群和大面积白色流石坝宏伟壮观，挂在石壁上的巨型石旗薄如蝉翼，透着光亮。“The cave is composed of six horizontal halls. In the cave, the stalactites are pure white, elegant and in different shapes. The big and tall stone pillars and the stone dams are magnificent. The giant stone flags hanging on the wall are as thin as a cicada's wings.”。
法国洞穴探险家让·博塔西认为，没有被破坏过的溶洞具有很大的科普价值，同时也是最适合旅游开发的洞穴。“A French cave explorer believes that the cave which hasn't been destroyed has a great science value. It is the most suitable cave for tourism development at the same time.”。据说，科考队员进去后就被迷宫式的洞道震撼了，因为这个洞穴非常复杂，19个支洞交错贯通，如果不做记号，没有专业工具，在里面也许就会迷失方向。“It is said that the team members were shocked by the maze tunnels when they went into the cave. The cave is very complicated. Nineteen branches of this cave crisscross and link up together. If you don't make a mark or you don't have professional tools and facilities, you may get lost in the cave.”。
如此神秘的洞穴，除了复杂的洞道让人称奇，科考队员还在洞内发现多处早期熬硝遗址。而在一个优美的S形水槽里，如同玻璃般透明的池水仿佛能洗涤人们的灵魂。
在对洞穴进行探险时，科考团队还发现了珍贵的盲鱼金线鲃、金色的盲鲶鱼、盲虾和透明蜘蛛等稀有的洞穴水生物。据悉，这些“洞穴原住民”对生存环境要求非常高，大多生活在水质纯净、无污染且食物非常稀少的洞穴最底层。“During the exploration, the team also found some precious rare cave aquatic living things. These things have a very high demand for the living environment. Most of them live at the bottom of the cave with pure non-pollution water and less food.”。
在此要提醒一句，虽然新发现的洞穴对于喜欢探险的游客来说很有挑战性，但应做足准备再出发。在探险过程中，千万不要破坏里面的生态环境，有些东西破坏了就无法再复原，请把这份大自然的馈赠留给子孙后代。
