Cave Dweller Emerges as Athlete After 500 Days

Spanish extreme athlete Beatriz Flamini has emerged from a cave in Grenada after spending 500 days with no human contact, in what could be a world record. The experiment was closely monitored by scientists and involved Flamini spending her time exercising, drawing, and knitting woolly hats. She got through 60 books and 1,000 litres of water, according to her support team. Flamini's time in isolation is being studied to understand the impact of social isolation and extreme temporary disorientation on people's perception of time.
