"INFINITE CAVE"

Down in the big chamber of Long Con, a new discovery in 2010 and continuation of the Alcove of Hang Son Doong. Between 10.30 and 15:00 sun rays might hit the ground and like a miniature weather system is created. Where the sun rays hit the ground humidity goes up into air and condensates in the cooler cave atmosphere. Clouds are created. Down in the chamber is the socalled Cactus garden, a wonderful array of stalagmites, partly quite narrow, with palmstem stalagmite formations.
