Son Doong Cave has become more famous after the American
Broadcasting Company (ABC) aired a live programme featuring its
magnificence on ‘Good Morning America’ in May 2015.
Located in Quang Binh Province, Son Doong Cave was discovered by a
local man named Ho Khanh in 1991, and became known internationally in
2009 thanks to British cavers, led by Howard Limbert. The cave was
formed about 2 to 5 million years ago by river water eroding away the
limestone underneath the mountain. It contains some of the tallest known
stalagmites in the world - up to 70 metres tall. The cave is more than 200
metres wide, 150 metres high, and nearly 9 kilometres long, with caverns
big enough to fit an entire street inside them. Son Doong Cave is
recognised as the largest cave in the world by BCRA (British Cave
Research Association) and selected as one of the most beautiful on earth
by the BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation).
In August 2013, the first tourist group explored the cave on a guided tour.
Permits are now required to access the cave and are made available on a
limited basis. Only 500 permits were issued for the 2015 season, which
runs from February to August. After August, heavy rains cause river levels
to rise and make the cave largely inaccessible.
