"INFINITE CAVE"

A British team of cavers discovered in Vietnam Hang Son Doong cave with the largest passage known in the world. In two dolines even a forest grows. There are other fascinating features like a strange phyto karst, 10 story high stlagmites and probably the biggest cave pearls we know of.
