DISCOVERED A POND NEVER SEEN BY MAN It has remained isolated for hundreds of thousands of years. No one had ever seen it before, then in May 2020, a small body of water was discovered in Carlsbad Caverns National Park, New Mexico. It is located in one of the largest and deepest caves in the world and was discovered 213 meters deep. The bacteria that live in the water have "evolved without the presence of humans". The body of water is surrounded by white rocks that give it an almost fairy-tale appearance.
