This is the world’s largest mammoth cave and the bottom is out of sight. There are jungles inside it. The roof of the cave fell in and let sunlight in and all kinds of vegetation soon followed. It is one of twenty caves that have been found in Vietnam. A local farmer discovered the cave and led the joint British and Vietnamese exploration team in their April expedition. The team mapping the cave got as far as a 46 foot high wall before they were stymied.
The Son Doong cave is 262 feet wide throughout most of the passage, and features a 1.6 mile long river and 230 feet stalagmites. For a couple of miles of the passage, the cave measures 460 feet wide.
