It sounds similar to the Grand Canyon. Intellectually, we know it is big and deep and wide. Being there and seeing it for the first time is more of an emotional understanding of how big and deep and wide it is as if you didn't already know it intellectually. As they say, it never fails to impress. The sheer size is impossible to recreate emotionally. Maybe if they had put a human for scale it might help.
Yeah, but I can't even really get to the intellectual conclusion from the photos, is the thing. Like, I want to at least see a sign of it that doesn't look like just a small cave. It's very difficult to see the scale of rocky landscapes from a photo, I guess maybe a person for scale wouldn't hurt. I don't need to see the full entire depth, but I just see so little in general. Maybe there's more in the photo, but I'm not interpreting the rough rock faces well enough. Can't really get any information from the shadows either.
