The Marble Caves
Listen now
Description
Today on Wonder we’re traveling across a glittering glacial lake in Patagonia to one of the most remote places on Earth: the Marble Caves. Formed more than 6,000 years ago, this cave complex is unlike any other. Peaks and swirls on the rock face resemble colourful strings of candy, their colors a game of reflection between the light, water and marble. On this journey, you’ll be joined only by the howl of the wind through the cave vaults and across the lake’s brilliant blue surface, transporting you to a kaleidoscopic show of colours that emerges just above the waterline. It’s time to put on your headphones, close your eyes, and take five minutes to yourself — to breathe, learn, and wonder.  This is Wonder, a weekly five-minute audio experience designed to transport you far away from the chaos of everyday life. Wonder is a Brazen production. To find out more visit brazen.fm/wonder.
