Next to the river Viluy is a mysterious place called "Death Valley". Here, as the legend goes, in the land of buried metal objects, which are very dangerous for all living things. Yakut afraid this dull area, and do not go there. Those who dared to go in the area, says that there is a flattened arch, which is part of the land. Under the arch are a lot of metal rooms where very warm, even if outside the severe frosts. In ancient times even the brave stayed the night in these caves. However, after this rooming house they are very sick, and those who slept a couple of times, died. Modern researchers Gutenev and Michael met with the old nomad, who went to the "Valley of Death." He told of a metal hole, in which lie the "skinny black e people." Another eyewitness, who was in the "Valley of Death" said he first visited this area when he was 10 years old. And then two more times in a more mature age. "Death Valley" is located on the right tributary of the river Viluy. However, researchers did not find room inside the earth, which says the legend.
At Nottingham, 450 caves
In the UK, conducted a laser scan of the city of Nottingham, which showed that under the city is located about 450 caves. British scientists have for several years trying to create a 3D map of the cave system of Nottingham. The sponsors of this study are companies such as East Midlands Development Agency, Greater Nottingham Partnership, as well as the University of Nottingham and Nottingham City Council. At this time, all 450 caves have been scanned with high accuracy using 3D laser scanner. With these studies have managed to create three-dimensional model of the caves, which allowed us to study all the features of these underground facilities. At present most of these caves are recognized landmarks. Some caves in the 19 th century were used as cellars of pubs and breweries. The most famous of all the caves is the cave called "Mortimer's Hole", which reaches 105 meters in length. The cave begins in Castle Rock, and ends in the melting shop Yard, who at one time the soldiers of King Edward III was used for capture of Sir Roger de Mortimer.
