I saw this awesome special on PBS, hosted by Edward Norton, and for the life of me I can't remember how to spell the word!

I think it sounds like sah-no-tay, and what it is is this whole underground network of rivers and tunnels, mainly - I believe - in South America.

I'm trying to research it, but, if you can't spell it, you can't search it!

HELP!

Try going to the PBS website and see if you can find it there - or google Edward Norton/ PBS and see if that works.

So,





did you finally google "underground network of rivers and tunnels South America"?




Cause that angle would work too - next time you forget the word.
