The Son Doong Cave in Vietnam is the world's largest cave. It has it's own underground jungle and river, and even it's own cloudsystem. It is so big, 40 storey skyscrapers would fit within its walls. The Local Ho Kanh discovered the cave entrance in 1991, but it was not until 2009 that Brittish Cavers explored the massive cave for the first time. Inside the darkness they so far discovered five new albinolike species. An Expedition into the cave takes 5 days and 4 nights. Less people have seen the inside of Hang Son Doong than have stood on the summit of Mount Everest.
