READING COMPREHENSION
The world’s largest cave, Son Doong, sits majestically in the Phong Nha – Ke Bang
National Park, which is one of the best places in Vietnam and also one of the top
natural world heritage sites in the world. The jaw-dropping size of Son Doong leaves
explorers awestruck and makes them feel like they’ve entered an extraterrestrial world
under the surface of the Earth. One of the top reasons to visit Vietnam is a chance to
explore this cave by joining the adventure of a lifetime – Son Doong Expedition.
Oxalis Adventure – a professional adventure operator in Vietnam which is based in
the Phong Nha – Ke Bang National Park as well and is the only qualified (in safety
and conservation) official tour operator in the world allowed to conduct expeditions to
Son Doong.
This cave is almost 3 million years old and is the ultimate cave experience for
adventure and exploration enthusiasts worldwide! It’s not just a cave, but a different
and unique underground subterranean environment. Son Doong is so huge and has
its own jungle, river and even its own climate! It was officially explored in 2009-2010
by the British Cave Research Association (BCRA).
One of the things that put Son Doong at the summit of the top caves to visit in the
world is its enormous size; at almost 6 km long, with sections reaching up to 200m tall
and 150m wide, Son Doong Cave is large enough to house an entire New York City
block, complete with 40 story skyscrapers. With a total measured volume of 38.5
million cubic meters, this comfortably surpasses Deer Cave in Malaysia, which was
considered to be the previous record holder. After having established an official
connection with Hang Thung, another 1.6 million cubic meters of volume would be
added to it; this means that Son Doong would enhance its position as the largest cave
in the world and continue to prove that it still keeps its mysterious charm alive and
remains a secret.
