7 Incredible Caves And Caving Experiences Across The World

2. Cave of the Ghost

Also known as ‘La Cueva del Fantasma,’ this is an interesting cave located in southern Venezuela. Situated in one of the most biologically rich and geologically ancient parts of the world in the Aprada tepui, it is just barely large enough to contain two helicopters. However, experts believed that this is not actually a cave but a collapsed steep gorge.

3. Cave of Crystals

This was just recently discovered in 2000 when scientists discovered the chasm below after drilling an aquifer and pumping out tens of thousands of gallons of water. A cave that is connected to the Naica Mine in Chihuahua, Mexico, its crystal formations are mind bogglingly large and measure over 30 feet in height and 4 feet in diameter.

Formed due to the water-source that is rich in calcium sulphate, it was heated by an infusion of magma making the cave extremely hot and people can only endure ten minutes of exposure with proper protection. This is also the reason why most parts of the cave are unexplored.
