Today I remembered I haven’t made a post about one of the coolest place I’ve heard of: Cave of the Crystals, which was accidentally discovered in 2000 by miners at Naica, Mexico. It contains giant selenite crystals, the largest crystals found by far. The cave’s largest one found to date is 12 m (39 ft) in length.

It’s one of the most extreme places on the planet as it lies almost 300 meters (900 feet) below the surface of the Earth, reaching air temperatures up to 58°C (136°F) with 90 to 99 percent humidity. Also, there’s a risk of falling into deep pits or on a sharp crystal.

Rick Lowe and Roberto Bedoya sat down recently at the Grantmakers in the Arts conference in Houston to discuss issues of equity and diversity in grantmaking and placemaking.
