Journey beneath Slovenia’s surface into a breathtaking world of ice, mystery, and science. In Slovenia Underground: Caves of Wonder, a team of expert cavers and scientists ventures deep into the icy chambers of Paradana, one of Central Europe’s largest and most unique ice caves. Equipped with state-of-the-art laser scanning and ground-penetrating radar, they embark on a high-stakes mission: to reveal the true volume of the cave’s ancient ice and unlock secrets buried for thousands of years. From high alpine plateaus to hidden river caves and mythical creatures like the elusive olm — the so-called “baby dragons” — this documentary explores a network of more than 14,000 caves that make Slovenia a global hub for speleology. Along the way, we uncover clues to Earth’s prehistoric climate, investigate a possible 55,000-year-old musical instrument, and confront the folklore that once branded caves as gateways to Hell. Could Slovenia’s ice caves hold the key to understanding climate change on a global scale? And what forgotten history lies frozen beneath the surface? #documentary #caves #slovenia #climatechange #underground #speleology #naturedocumentary #exploration ---- The universe is vast, much like our imagination.
