Wieliczka Salt Mine in Poland

The pictures below are of of a salt mine near Krakow, Poland. Everything in each photo is made entirely out of salt! The floors, chandeliers (minus wires), statues, chapel,everything! The mine has been used since the 12th century. The miners made everything in the mine. Not professional sculptors or artists! Isn't it cool (it really is... the average temperature of the mine is 59 degrees Fahrenheit.)? Well, go ahead and take a look!
