Forest in a cave (Vietnam)

World's Largest Cave, Son Doong, Prepping For First Public Tours

Source - Huffington Post
The Son Doong Cave in Vietnam is the biggest cave in the world. It's over 5.5 miles long, has a jungle and river, and could fit a 40-story skyscraper within its walls.

But nobody knew any of that until four years ago.

A local man discovered the cave entrance in 1991, but British cavers were the first to explore it in 2009. Now, tour company Oxalis is running trial tours of the cave and accepting sign-ups for real six-day tours to take place next year.

The man who discovered Son Doong didn't go in because the entrance he found had too steep a drop. On next year's tours, visitors will rappel 80 meters to enter Son Doong.








This just reminds me of about a few horror movies...wonder if any 'special' species living down there....evolving in its own environment, unable to escape...until...tourist expedition goes awry

Let's hope it stays an unspoilt piece of earth for a long time, and the giant cockroaches within it can't fly.
