Geography 1301 - Smith, Keith: Physical Geography: Deepest Cave in the World

Do you know where the deepest cave in the world is?

Krubera-Voronja Cave

Also known as the Cave of Kruber, Voronja is the deepest cave in the world with recent measurements extending to a total depth of 7188 feet (2191 m). It was the first cave to be explored to a depth of more than 2 km down.

On August 5th 2007, an international expedition with 56 members went in and the interesting thing is, they said that the cave system could be deeper. "The caving game is far from over. It won't be; not as long as deeper abysses call out to be explored" said Alexander Klimchouk, a renowned speleologist.

The Crows' Cave (that what it means) is located in Georgia in the Arabika Massif of the Gagra Range, near the coast of the Black Sea.
