Athlete Emerges from 500 Days of Solitude in Cave Study
TL;DR
Spanish mountaineer Beatriz Flamini emerged from a cave 500 days after descending into it as part of a research project to study the effects of long-term solitude. Flamini spent her time knitting, reading, and exercising, and lost track of time. She did not want to know what was happening in the outside world and was not aware of major events such as Russia's invasion of Ukraine or the death of Queen Elizabeth II. Flamini's experience was monitored by a team of Spanish scientists as part of the "Timecave" project.
