Clipmarks | Vietnam Clips World?s Biggest Cave Discovered in Vietnam clipped by: EddieIsSteady Clip Source: www.weirdasianews.com World?s Biggest Cave Discovered in Vietnam 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. 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 previous record-holder, Deer Cave on the Malaysian island of Borneo, is 300 feet wide, but it is much shorter than Son Doong. The Vietnamese terrain, which is filled with similar limestone caves, presented a lot of difficulties to the explorers. The research team surveyed the cave using precise laser technology to assess its size. (link) Tags: vietnam, caves, travel, photography zum Artikel...
