(vietnam tours operator) On the road to the grotto Son Doong, the British expedition was blocked by a towering limestone walls, an estimated 60 meters. Titus overhead, they see the light shine down, but not the other side know what the stone wall.
Exploration journey largest cave in the world - for many years and the great photos of the cave has launched the world. Later this month, Son Doong will again distinguish the Japanese company NHK scientific presentation of the first 3D movies of the cave to 60 countries.
Son Doong cave attract attention and amazement of the scientists inside the cave by the forests, the world's longest underground river, and so far the explorers did not know what is the end of the cave.
This cave is part of the system of about 150 caves, hidden in the park of Phong Nha - Ke Bang in Quang Binh province. Many cave systems explorer has not been to, contains within him the mysterious beauty.
Limber Howard heads a team of cave explorers Caves Association in Britain, to be told that Vietnam was predestined. After applying, he and his wife allowed the expedition in 1990 and since then they started the journey to conquer the mysterious cave.
In 2009, the expedition started conquering Son Doong. They discovered more than 4 km in the cave before being stopped by a wall of mud and limestone to over 60 meters high. They named it the Great Wall of Vietnam. High above, the expedition saw only an empty space and light but does not know the other side of the wall is.
A year later, the British explorer 7 with some scientists and porters union workers back to climb over the wall if possible, measure the way in the cave and go forward, if possible, to the end of the cave. They position of the limestone wall above the nearby witnessed a large pile of broken limestone, probably from the high ceiling down.
Mark Jenkins, a member of the expedition, including the NatGeo: "The path before me appeared a huge debris, stones in the building had to work from the ceiling down to the cave. I look back neck but the vast space of the cave swallow the flickering light from the flashlight on my head, as if I were looking at the night sky without stars such. They told me to stand in that space enough for a Boeing 747 song I have no way to be sure. The darkness around me like my head was so covered by a sleeping bag.
"A major highlight overflows into the cave-like waterfalls. The light passes through a hole in the ceiling at least 90 meters wide," Jenkins told to. "Light - len deep inside the cave - reveal the enormous of Son Doong. Sugar in the cave is probably to 90 feet wide, nearly 250 meter high ceiling: enough space to accommodate a 40-storey high building like in New York. Near the ceiling also the light clouds. "
Through expeditions later, the laser surveying instrument with precision, the cave explorer said Son Doong 200m wide rows, higher than 150 m, a length of at least 6.5 km. In the grotto is the height to 250 m.
Caves Association has recognized the Royal announced Son Doong is natural caves with the largest dome, the title is from a cave in Malaysia.
However, the expedition will not find a cave mouth, if not the help of local people. Mr. Limbert said: "Mr. Khanh worked with us from the beginning. Will not find anything without him. "
Ho Khanh wrote on Nat Geo: "I live in a village near the cave. My father died in war making as a child I had to seek a living in the jungle. For years I have been hunting over the Vietnam-Laos border, hiding in caves to avoid or evade the storm rain bomb ".
"Make three expeditions I find this Son Doong cave. Mr.Khanh found from a young door but forgot to know where it is. He find it in 2009 and reported to us, "Limbert said.
Expert Howard Limbert said: "We have 13 trips in 20 years of collaboration with the University of Natural Sciences in Hanoi (now) and just over 100 miles explored caves are found. It's just a small part of massive limestone blocks, as well as an area we arrived just a fraction of the entire massif. The potential caves here enormous. with speed as the current discovery, we it will remain impossible to know all the caves here. "
