April 5, 2012 World's Largest Cave

Here is the mouth to the world's largest single cave passage found to date. It is the Son Doong cave in the dense jungles of Vietnam's Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park.

The cave measures at least 262-by-262 feet (80-by-80 meters) in most places and is at least 2.8 miles (4.5 kilometers) long.

These are giant formations within the cave. Some of the giant stalagmites are more than 230 feet (70 meters) high.
