Vitya Lyagushkin and his crew of fellow scubaspelunking nuts have been exploring Orda Cave, Russia’s longest underwater cave and the world’s largest gypsum cave, for years, but just recently they compiled their trippy aquasubterranean efforts into a radly beautiful book.

It’s $50 and comes from Russia. Sample a taste here, then follow the life line over to ordacave.ru.
