11. The Son Doong Cave, Vietnam
This is the largest cave in the world. It’s millions of years old and the result of the gradual erosion of limestone beneath the mountains by river water. Huge natural skylights were also created when sections of the ceiling collapsed.
This cave contains its own jungle, river, and climate. It is a world within itself. The cave also has some of the tallest stalagmites in the world.
The Son Doong Cave is also the home of an up-and-coming tourist attraction known as The Great Wall of Vietnam. This significantly large calcite wall once hid a number of unusually large cave pearls the size of major league baseballs.
These are but ten of the many noteworthy natural caves on the planet. Many more still remain undiscovered and thus also unexplored. Only time will tell what other caves may one day be found.
You need to check out the “Cuevas de Drach” in Mallorca, Spain!!!! Beautiful natural caves.
The name sounds familiar. Perhaps I wrote about it elsewhere. Perhaps someone else from Spain mentioned it? Doe it get a lot of press?
At any rate, thanks for reading my stuff and thanks for the comment!
