According to a recent news article in a British newspaper, a small team of British cavers have discovered a gigantic virgin cave in Vietnam.
Here are 2 photos taken in the cave: http://www.dancewithshadows.com/travel/images/hang-son-doong-cave-photo-4.jpg http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2009/05/01/article-1175430-04BF829E000005DC-524_634x796.jpg The newspaper, "the Craven Herald and Pioneer," alleges that the main passage in this cave is a gigantic borehole that is 5 kilometers long. This article claimed some of the cavers were Ian Watson, Howard and Deborah Limbert, Martin Holroyd, and Gareth Sewell. They claim the cavers told them that it takes 6 hours to walk from one end to the other, and that the cave continued on. It is called "Mountain River Cave," and is deep in the jungle and they claim the hike is treacherous.
