Spanish Climber Emerges from 500 Days of Isolation in Cave
Spanish mountain climber Beatriz Flamini has emerged from a cave 70 metres underground where she spent 500 days isolated from the outside world, setting a possible new world record. Flamini's pursuit was part of a project called Timecave that was designed to study how someone would fare going solo underground for so long. She used two cameras to document her experiences and placed the recordings at an exchange point in the cave. Flamini said she used the time "to read, to draw, to weave, to be, to enjoy. I am where I want to be".
