深入世界上最大洞穴的里面

 七紫 2013-01-18


Located in the Quang Binh province in Vietnam, the Son Doong Cave is the world's largest cave. The biggest section of the cave is more than 650 feet wide, almost 500 feet high, and approximately 5.5 miles long. According to the website, parts of the space are so massive that there are caverns big enough to fit an entire city street inside them.

Set along the Laos border, this largest single passage is part of a network of 150 other caves. It is located in a very remote jungle area within Phong Nha-K? Bàng National Park and was rediscovered in 2009 by a group of British cavers.

"Son Doong" means "mountain river," and is aptly called such because the formation was created millions of years ago when river water eroded the limestone underneath the mountain. There is still much to discover, but so far, inside, explorers have found a fast-flowing river, giant stalagmites standing more than 230 feet high, and a tiny jungle, nicknamed "Garden of Edam."

On a side note, the Son Doong Cave is just one of the ten places we chose in the list Extraordinary Travel Destinations Off the Beaten Path. Make sure to check out the rest.

位于越南广平省的,子Doong洞穴是世界上最大的洞穴。超过650英尺,宽,高约500英尺,约5.5公里长的洞穴是最大的部分。据该网站,部分空间是如此的庞大,大到足以容纳整个城市的街道内有溶洞。


沿老挝边界,这是最大的单一通道150其他洞穴网络的一部分。它坐落在一个很偏远的丛林地区海防芽科邦国家公园内,并在2009年被重新发现的一组英国洞穴探险。


“儿子Doong”的意思是“山河水”,被形象地称为,因为形成创造了数百万年前,当河水侵蚀的石灰岩山的下面。仍然有许多发现,但在里面,到目前为止,探险家们发现了一个水流湍急的河道,站在巨大的石笋超过230英尺高,和一个小丛林,被昵称为“花园之盾”。
