This is part of a network that connects the 150 caves in Vietnam, which borders Laos. Howard and Deb Limbert of British entry into the Hang Son Doong in 2009 but they
 were forced to stop because of the high walls of calcite. The team then come back and climb that wall and into figuring out the tip of the cave. The cave is 6.5 miles in length at this time but the end of the sockets are still continuing with calcite wall sockets as high as 45 meters to 150 meters wide and 200 meters high. that stop us, “said Adam Spillane, one member of the British expedition team searching for the cave.
The cave is named Hang Son Doong or mean mountain river caves were first discovered by a ranger named Ho Khanh in 1991.

A total of 13 people combined explorers from the University of Science Vietnam by British explorer finally held Caving Expedition 2009 went into the cave. They spent five days in mid-April to survey the cave path.With a laser-based measuring instrument LaserAce 300, the team can measure the height and width of the ceiling cavity along the journey with the hope to make maps. Currently the data is analyze However, the results of the initial report showed a large main cavity nearly doubled the current record for the largest cave. So, Hang Son Doong probably the biggest cave in the world today.
