The deepest cave in the world

The deepest cave in the world has several names: the cave of Voronia, cave of Krubera-Voronya or cave of Kruber.Surely Julio Verne would have baptized it with a more original name, and would have used it without doubt as a fantastic context for some of his novels.The truth is that today we do not know what its exact depth is, but what has been explored so far indicates a depth of nothing more and nothing less than 2,191 meters.

The cave of Voronia and its unexplored depths

To visit it, and if you risk an adventure with your caving team, you should approach the Arabian mazizo of the mountains of Gagra, in the republic Autonomous of Abkhazia in Georgia.A little far right? But the trip should be worth it if you are one of those who have a curious and risky spirit.

Until 2004 the depth record achieved by the research teams was in the very acceptable 1710 meters.throughout 2004 and 2005, and through three complex expeditions by the CAVEX team , it reached already at 2140, finding an unexplored area until then, a place endowed with a dark but at the same time exciting Satin depth of darkness, where they went in order to find out how far it went.

The deepest cave in the world

They stopped in 2140, but in 2012, they reached the -2191 m .The Spanish-Russian team headed by D.Provalov and S.Garcia-Dils point out that it is even possible to exceed 2700 m, since there are cavities located 150 m above the entrance of Voronia, that could be connected to the Black Sea.All an adventure that year after year continues to attract all those lovers of strong emotions who want to not only overcome the record, but find out how far it reaches the real depth of the Voronia cave.

But...what about these strange depths? you may ask: are there living beings? Creatures or strange species? Well, the answer is yes.In the cave a species of beetle of the abyss has been recently cataloged, totally unknown until now.It is a creature very adapted to the conditions of underground life, and they have baptized it with the suggestive name of Duvalius abyssimus.

We only have two specimens, a male and a female, and it attracts attention that they still have eyes, since the beings of the abysses usually lack of them not being useful to them.Little beings that some team of scientists and speleologists took care to capture to offer science a new species to consider.Who knows what other creatures they will find as they continue descending...

Would you dare to descend and visit inside?
