New underground cave found in Son Doong

A view of Son Doong Cave

An international press conference on discovery of a new underground tunnel discovered inside Son Doong, was held in Hanoi on April 9 by Quang Binh province People’s Committee.

The exploration involved the participation of four divers who helped rescue a Thai football team last year and other divers from the British Caving Association. 

According to Howard Limbert, who is an expert of the British Royal Caving Research Association, the purpose of the diving expedition of the cave experts is to find out the connection between Son Doong Cave and Hang Thung Cave which are 600m apart. 

The team found a new tunnel system at a depth of 60 meters below present sea level. The exploration has clearly proved that Son Doong Cave is bigger than its current title of the world’s largest cave, making it even more mysterious.
