500 Days Alone in a Cave: Spanish Mountaineer Emerges Without Finishing Book
Spanish extreme athlete Beatriz Flamini emerged from a 500-day challenge living in a cave outside Granada, breaking a world record for the longest time spent in a cave in an experiment monitored by scientists studying the human mind and circadian rhythms. She spent her time underground doing exercises, painting, drawing, and knitting woolly hats. Flamini was monitored by a group of psychologists, researchers, cave specialists, and physical trainers looking for insight into how social isolation and disorientation can affect time, brain patterns, and sleep.
