Angelita Cenote, Yucatan peninsula, Mexico. A cenote is a natural pit, or sinkhole, that forms after a collapse of limestone bedrock that exposes groundwater underneath. This process veils clear water with a shadow of mud and leaves, leaving visibility extremely low. Once teams descend to the bottom however, the initial ominous layer trickles into a glowing cloud of hydrogen sulphide that displays an eerie, yet alluring landscape.– photography by Klaus Thymann
