Title: Into the Planet Pdf My Life as a Cave Diver
From one of the world's most renowned cave divers, a firsthand account of exploring the Earth's final frontier: the hidden depths of our oceans and the sunken caves inside our planet.
More people have died exploring underwater caves than climbing Mount Everest, and we know more about deep space than we do about the depths of our oceans. From one of the top cave divers working today - and one of the very few women in her field - Into the Planet blends science, adventure, and memoir to bring listeners face-to-face with the terror and beauty of Earth's remaining unknowns and the extremes of human capability.
Jill Heinerth - the first person in history to dive deep into an Antarctic iceberg and leader of a team that discovered the ancient watery remains of Mayan civilizations - has descended farther into the inner depths of our planet than any other woman. She takes us into the harrowing split-second decisions that determine whether a diver makes it back to safety, the prejudices that prevent women from pursuing careers underwater, and her endeavor to recover a fallen friend's body from the confines of a cave. But there's beauty beyond the danger of diving, and while Heinerth swims beneath our feet in the lifeblood of our planet, she works with biologists discovering new species, physicists tracking climate change, and hydrogeologists examining our finite freshwater reserves.
Written with hair-raising intensity, Into the Planet is the first book to deliver an intimate account of cave diving, transporting listeners deep into inner space, where fear must be reconciled and a mission's success balances between knowing one's limits and pushing the envelope of human endurance.
Standout modern day explorer This is a very exciting book about adventure, finding yourself and conquering your dreams as seen through the eyes of Jill; an underwater cave diver. This book sparks so much interest into the unknown world of underground aquifers. I highly recommend this easy to read book about a modern day explorer finding herself as a standout in a male dominated field.One of the great explorers of our day. A most fascinating first person account of a life spent "Going where no person has gone before". More people have walked on the moon, than have been in places where Jill travels. Her book takes you with her, where a day at the office means wearing 300lb of life support in order to map and document an environment that might try to kill you at any moment. There are almost NO places left on earth where you can be the "first person" to set foot there. Except underwater. The caves are not just difficult and demanding, but absolute awe inspiring to see. If you can't go there yourself, read this book. If you are thinking of taking up cave diving, read this book. If you have been diving for decades, read this bookThrilling and Compelling Memoir of an Incredible Journey This book takes you along to places you would otherwise never venture! Below the surface of the earth in underwater cave systems, into the heart of an iceberg in Antarctica, on expeditions around the planet. But much more than that, it is a personal journey of courage, raw emotion, love, fear, disappointment, heartbreak and tragedy, and incredible achievement at the highest level in a profession which was almost completely dominated by men. It is an enthralling memoir of an incredible explorer. I highly recommend this book!
