ABANDONED UNDERGROUND | Exploring New Mexico's Largest Abandoned Mine- The Cavern to Hades and Unexpected Finds! Part 2 @ABANDONED_UNDERGROUND | Uploaded November 2022 | Updated October 2024, 2 hours ago.
Welcome back, everyone!!!
Today's abandoned mine exploring video is part 2 of possibly the LARGEST accessible abandoned mine in New Mexico! I've conducted many abandoned mine exploration trips across the desert southwest, but in terms of size, this is the largest I have experienced to date. In many areas, the underground scenery resembles a massive cave system. This is truly one of the most interesting abandoned places near me that I have explored!
In part 2, we enter where the main ore body used to be. After the valuable minerals were extracted, massive stopes were left behind, leaving an underground void that is a sight to see! After traveling for several thousand feet, we encounter an underground weather system where clouds are forming and moisture precipitating from condensation. This is obviously not good for any iron or steel implements within the mine, as much of it is severely oxidized. We also come across a unique system of cave formations actively growing within one of the stopes in the clouds, where minerals within the mountains are leeching into the formations, creating colorful soda straws and stalactites!
History of this mine is rather colorful. It started in the early 1900s as an underground lead, zinc, and silver mine. In its later days, it became a test site for experimenting with underground munitions storage and the effects of explosives detonating in that setting. It is part of a massive and elaborate network of an underground ore zone that spans for several miles under the mountain.
This mine is so massive, we have made several trips to it, and still are discovering new areas! This video is the second of many documenting this astonishing man-made cavern with sights resembling scenes from cave exploring videos!
Joining us on this adventure are @Zia Mountain Adventures and @Headframe Hunters Mining & Exploration . Together, we take our underground abandoned mine exploring experiences to another level. We have hiked several miles underground, documenting this historic place, each one of us with a different perspective. I hope you enjoy our videos, and I encourage you to check out and subscribe to @Zia Mountain Adventures and @Headframe Hunters Mining & Exploration channels as well!
This abandoned mine exploring video is shot and presented in 4K and HDR. I recommend for your viewing experience to watch this video with a TV, monitor, or mobile device with a 4K/HDR compatible display. It really does make a difference!
