Adventures Down Deep
National Geographic cave photographer, Robbie Shone,and his assistant Jeff Wade had joined a Russian expedition to explore and photograph Veryovkina, the deepest-known cave on Earth.
Their was a rumble that had occurred while the crew members were diving down into the cave.. The entire cave began to shake as if by a earthquake.
Their is an enormous flood that covers scrambling for their lives.
Shone says that the sound was nothing he had ever herd before.
The rumbling coming from the depths of the cave was caused by the flood that was building within the cave.
As a result of the caves starting to flood up the cavers and Shone had to return to the surface due the fact that it would've been dangerous for anyone to stay down in the cave.

The beard has been a common trend through history.
Historically beards have come in many types of shapes and foms such as curled, dyed, waxed, braided, gilded, scented, starched, taxed, and forbidden.
The president, Abraham Lincoln, grew his famous beard at the suggestion of a little girl who lived in Westfield, New York.
Mostly fashion gets moits influence from wars, and usually wars discourage many men to grow their beards.
In wars or battle, beards were often used as a handy handle for the enemy to use against someone in combat.
As a result, beards have become very popular through history but also dangerous in the wars that took place all those many years in history.
