14 Not least, our global search for underground spaces has practical limitations of, for example, language. The References include websites that we came across and that readers might find worth checking. Among these, we highlight the superb collection of photographs and descriptions of underground spaces in Córdoba, Argentina, available at www.speleotunel.com.ar.

15 The French translation from Latin reads: ‘Cette clarté nocturne vient du Firmament, qui n’est autre chose que le revers de la surface de la Terre, dont l’hémisphère donne une lumière pareille à celle, que la Lune rend chez nous; de sorte qu’à ne considérer que cela, on peut bien dire, que sur le globe en question les nuits diffèrent peu des jours, si ce n’est que pendant la nuit le Soleil est absent, & que cette absence rend les soirées un peu plus fraîches.’ Ludvig Holberg, Voyage de Nicolas Klimius dans le monde souterrain, contenant une nouvelle téorie de la terre, et l’histoire d’une cinquiême monarchie inconnu jusqu’à-present (Copenhagen, 1753), p. 16.
