Some days Louise Hose puts on a suit to go to work.Other days she puts on a helmet(头盔)with a large head lamp.When she isn’t dressed up to teach geology(地质学)courses at Westminster College in Missouri,Hose explores and maps caves—the deeper and darker,the better.
Hose is a geologist and a speleologist,or caver.Her job is to add to our knowledge about how the earth is formed.Sometimes she crawls on her back through tight passages with rocks pressing into her body.Other times she goes down the wall of a deep cave with the help of a rope.
For the past few years,she has gone to Tapijulapa(Tah-pee-hoo-la-pa),Mexico,during school breaks to map a cave.She and her fellow explorers found that it is full of animals that have adapted to life underground.There are bats,spiders,and colorless fish and crabs that swim in the cave’s streams.
They also discovered something more amazing:groups of tiny living creatures that can survive in poisonous air and with no light.Such creatures may give clues to what life forms are like in space.These living groups drip down like a runny nose.They contain liquid,which can burn human skin.A photographer on the expedition named them“snottites.”
When Hose was a kid in Alhambra,California,she loved to watch adventure documentaries(纪录片).But the brave explorers she saw were always men.“I used to wish I was a boy,so I could be an explorer,”she recalls.“Thank goodness I studied geology.”Her college studies gave her confidence to discover new worlds:“Girls can and do become explorers.”
