Hang Son Doong: Inside The Worlds Largest Cave With Jungle, River&Climate(Photos by Explorers(m): 3:20pm On Jun 26, 2016
At more than 200m high, 150m wide and 5km long, the Hang Son Doong cave in Vietnam is so big it has its own river, Waterfall, jungle and climate.

First place in the world for being the largest cave in the world belongs to Hang Son Doong in Vietnam, about 450 kilometers (280 miles) south of Hanoi.

It is more than 8.7 kilometers (5.4 miles) long.

The cave was found by a local farmer, Ho Khanh in 1991.

He used it as a shelter from a storm.

It was not until 2009 that British Cave Research Association explored the cave and it became instantly one of the most amazing thing you can see in your life.

“Hand of Dog” is one of many massive formations that visitors will see in the cave. It dwarfs the explorer standing next to it.
