AG: The Ik Kil Cenote in the Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico. A cenote is large sinkhole that is filled with water. The ground of the Yucatan Peninsula is almost entirely limestone, so there are no rivers and thus the only fresh drinkable water is underground. Said water has carved underground rivers beneath that ran across the region, and when the ceiling collapsed, a cenote was created. Because these cenotes exposed the underground water, they were the only way the ancient Mayan people could access water safe for drinking.

LE; The red highlights on the image above show a cave that has an entrance/exit partially submerged in the water that inhabits the cave.
LE; The cave in this picture is fully submerged with the entrance ABOVE the waterline, as the highlight suggests.
LE; This image displays a pillar in the cave, likely formed by an erosion of some kind. This is an element that would fit nicely into an environment.
LE; The highlights above show formations of stalactites which would make a nice addition to our concepts and bring variety to the environment.
LE; The highlight above displays a group of vines growing around a stone building. This is an element we wanted to show the natural takeover that is occurring on the planet.
LE; These climate maps help us research specific places that have similar climates to what we are aiming for.
LE; This is a quick concept showing what vine-like (flora?) would look like in the night with bio luminescence.
