An extreme athlete emerged on Friday from a cave 230 feet underground where she spent 500 days isolated from the outside world in what could be a new world record.
Beatriz Flamini, 50, left the cave in southern Spain where she had been since 21 November, 2021 – and immediately went for a shower.
The elite sportswoman, mountaineer and climber, had been monitored by scientists in an project called Timewave to learn more about the capacities of the human mind and circadian rhythms.
