Las Cavernas de Marmol

Posted by Miss Cellania in Environment, Pictures, Travel on June 29, 2011 at 8:10 am

The Marble Caverns, as the name translates to English, are in General Carrera, a lake that straddles the border of Argentina and Chile. The lake has thrown gravel against the blue marble cliffs for millions of years, gradually carving these beautiful grottos. See more pictures at Environmental Graffiti. Link -via Dark Roasted Blend

If you took a look at the larger version of this sculpture (left), you’d immediately conclude that it was made out of Styrofoam.  As impressive as that would be, the real mind-blower here is that it’s actually marble.

All of Fabio Viale’s creations from marble have a deceptive quality to them, prompting the beholder to utter “No way,” with each new sculpture.  From paper airplanes, to actual working boats, to classic renderings of the human form, they all inspire.

For instance, these seemingly impossible tires linked together? Black marble.
