Mexico's southern Yucatan Peninsula has several thousand "cenotes". The word means a flooded cave. And given the huge archaeological significance, the country's National Institute of Anthropology and History is sponsoring a massive long-term project to map them.
With a computer program that processes thousands of photographic images captured from different angles, the project is creating 3D models of the caves.
The area to be explored covers 145,000 square kilometres over the southern Mexican states of Campeche, Yucatan, and Quintana Roo.
