Ice age caves discovered underneath city of Montreal

[the other mike]

This should be a popular tourist attraction if they can make sure it's safe down there.

Amateur explorers have discovered a network of 15,000-year-old caves underneath a Canadian city.

The passageway, which is at least 200 metres long (660ft), was formed during the last ice age underneath what is now the city of Montreal.

The "once in a lifetime" October find by Luc Le Blanc and Daniel Caron was the result of years of trial and error.

Connected to the Saint-Léonard Cavern, the cave network is six metres deep and parts must be traversed by boat.

That must be Bumble's crib. I wondered where he hung out.

Those look like amazingly straight walls and ceiling for a 15,000 year old cave. Things that make you go hmm....

Don't you know the aliens make really great caves but what caves have ever lacked the vertical and horizonal striations of this one?

And brick walls?

Nobody has the heart to tell the guy that his "once in a lifetime" discovery is merely a sewer.

I see no vertical striations that you would get with bricks. Horizontal striations are common in glacial rock.
