The Museum is divided into two galleries called Salon Manchones and Salon Nizuc. See map of the location > Salon Punta Nizuc Depth: 4m Salon Manchones Depth: 6-9m

Icicles of Brick - English Russia This abandoned Russian fortress is probably one of the creepiest places I have seen. The reason for it to have such a strange look is because it was used later by Russian army to test the influence of Russian alternative to napalm inside of the brick houses. Due to very high temperature of napalm the bricks started melting just like ice melts in the spring forming the icicles, but those icicles are of red brick. via tbsf Abandoned Amusement Parks Continuant leurs séries sur les lieux abandonnés, c’est aujourd’hui aux parcs d’attractions que Andreas, Reginald Van de Velde ou Chris Luckhardt se sont attaqués.
