One more time, its photos have been released on a famous foreign website – the UKs Telegraph. The website has just The Telegraph website has just published a series of photos of Son Doong cave taken by Australian photographer John Spies, 59 years old, after he spent a week photographing the natural wonder.
According to the Telegraph, at more than 200m high, 150m wide and 5km long, the Son Doong cave in Vietnam is so big it has its own river, jungle and climate. The photographer John Spies, said “With ceilings towering over 200 meters high in places, the cave is a humbling and belittling experience,”.
“The entrance is quite small and mist from the cave, caused by the cooler air inside meeting the hot air outside, rises into the surrounding forest. Visitors must descend 80m down a steep wall with the use of harnesses and ropes. The huge temperature difference also creates moving clouds of mist, especially near the two karst windows, which gives the cave its magically surreal atmosphere.”
“It is amazing to be 3-4km inside the cave and have daylight illuminate the cave formations. The dimensions of the cave are incredible and to camp for five nights in the biggest cave in the world is not something most of get to do in our lifetime,” said John.
