Expedition leader Max Wisshak thinks the water derived from ancient rainwater and seeped through the limestone.  The formations at the bottom of the pool appear to be \u201cpool fingers\u201d that appear to be fully evolved colonies of bacteria, meaning they may have evolved completely free of human intervention.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"700\" src=\"https:\/\/kasifiz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/sut-havuzu2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9683\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cThis pool has been isolated for hundreds of thousands of years and has never seen light until now,\u201d said Rodney Horrocks of Carlsbad Caverns.  Such pristine pools are of great scientific interest because water samples are relatively free of contamination.  The microbial organisms living in these pools may have evolved only in this environment.  Considering sources of contamination that may come from outside, the fact that Lechuguilla Cave is located in a protected wild area provides a great advantage in this respect.  &#8220;There is also the possibility of contamination from air aerosols, but the newly discovered pool is almost completely untouched,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"700\" src=\"https:\/\/kasifiz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/sut-havuzu3.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9684\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Scientists have discovered a mysterious pool of water containing a milk-like liquid that has never been seen by humans before, deep inside a cave in New Mexico.
