A Spanish woman who spent a record-breaking 500 days in a cave deep underground has said she did not want to come out.
A 50-year-old extreme athlete has emerged from a 500-day challenge living 70 metres deep in a cave outside Granada, Spain.Flamini, who was 48 when she entered the cave, said the time flew by and she had no real notion of it. She was setting the new world record for underground isolation. She almost doubled the 269 days endured by Italian Christine Lanzoni in an underground laboratory, according to Andalusia’s Caving Federation.
“I was sleeping, or snoozing at least, and I heard people. I thought they were coming to tell me I had to leave because something had happened.” Wearing dark glasses and smiling as she adjusted to the light of spring in southern Spain, elite mountaineer Beatriz Flamini told reporters that time had flown by and she did not want to come out.Her trial of resilience is being used as an experiment to provide data for scientists studying the capacities of the human mind and human circadian rhythms at the universities of Granada and Almeria as well as a Madrid-based sleep clinic.
