Tepuy

Horizontal quartzite caves can’t exist according to geological knowledge. Yet such caves have been found in Venezuelan Guayana. Slovakian cavers have explored the region and found several caves in Roraima and Chimantá massifs. Of the latter expedition a documentary has been made, called Tepuy, which is available on DVD.

For all who would like to see this fascinating part of the world and to have an impression of the habitat of several interesting snail species, I recommend this film. Personally I give a five-star WOW!-factor.
