World's Biggest Cave Passage Found?

(April 30) - A group of cavers exploring the Vietnamese jungle say they've come across the world's biggest cave entrance.

The massive passage, which measures 656 feet high and 492 feet wide, was found by a British-Vietnamese caving team this year in the country's Nha-Ke Bang National Park, according to a report in The Sun newspaper.

A 13-member British-Vietnamese expedition, assisted by representatives from the Hanoi University of Science, found what could be the world's biggest cave, above, in Vietnam's Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park.

The newly uncovered Hang Son Doong -- or Mountain River Cave -- appears to be almost twice as large as the current record holder, Malaysia's Deer Cave, which is 328 feet high and 295 feet wide.

"It is a truly amazing sized cave and one of the most significant discoveries by a British caving team," said Adam Spillane, a member of the 13-person expedition. The cave, according to Spillane, was originally located in 1991 by a local man named Ho Khanh.

"Khanh has been a guide for the team in many expeditions to the jungle to explore caves and this year he took a team to the cave which had never been entered before by anyone including local jungle men," he said. (AOL)
