The 10 Deepest Caves In The World

Описание: Depth, danger, and desire are embodied in this planet's most harrowing chasms. Scientists and cavers are drawn for different reasons, either for data or stepping where no person has ever gone. In regard to how these caves came to be, alkaline rocks dissolve under the pressure of water (which is naturally slightly acidic) over millions of years to create networks of passages. Geologic sculptures like stalactites, which hang delicately from cave ceilings, bear witness to the march of time as they form at an imperceptibly slow pace of millimeters per year, thanks to the drips of water that deposit minerals in their wake. For the record, although this list encompasses the most recent data, the unexplored sections of these caves leave room for dramatic change as new discoveries are made.
