    I love that I’ve been to one of these… in 2013 I was lucky enough to be the first tourist to touch the Great Wall of Vietnam at the end of Hang Son Doong. On the first trial tour Ho Kanh went with us to the entrance and Howard and Deb Limbert from the British caving expedition that initially explored the cave led us in. It was all pretty humbling when Howard told us that more people had been to the surface of the moon. And I was only there out of sheer dumb luck.

I’m lucky in some very, very strange ways. More importantly not long after coming out of the cave I met my now wife, which was way, way luckier!

    Another one is the Devil's Hole cave system and underground lake. The upper parts have been explored but cave goes down so far beyond what's been explored that the lower reaches are called the infinity cave. The water in the cave system apparently connects to some sort of massive underground sea, seismic activity across the world causes some pretty large reactions in the water there.

However, the plans were opposed by environmentalists and locals because of the damage mass tourism could cause to the cave and local environment. The plan was ultimately cancelled by local government.

    • @djgeorgetsagkadopoulos

      1) You would need HUGE lights if you were to leave them 100meters away. Light does not travel that far in water as on air.
      2) You should also pray that you are lucky and the waters are crystal clear, free of any floating particles. Otherwise it would be as good as lighting a big flashlight in a dense fog.. It could make things worse!

    I loved this video. I am fascinated by caves and ocean exploration especially.
    I have often wondered if the sea creatures drawn on old maps were not as exaggerated as modern people would think. Before humans began traveling on the oceans more regularly, and hunting creatures living hundreds of miles off shore, I imagine that some sea creatures had time to grow quite large.

    "They weren't able to explore the entire cave, as they were stopped in their tracks by a 60-meter tall wall. The following year, they came back better prepared, and were able to traverse the wall..."
    They had to unlock the space boots and the screw attack, first.

      Look up Seabed 2030 for more info on the ongoing project to map 100% of the sea floor by 2030; so far 25% has been completed.
      Manganese nodule mining on an industrial scale is actually impossible as we don't have the technology or machinery capable to do so now, the cost is prohibitive and the mining processes themselves have not been developed.

    We may be born too late to explore the Earth and born too early to explore the Universe, but we are born at just the right time to see and contribute to a technological explosion of ever increasing faster releases of new tech, both general and medical, with the latter being especially exciting - especially for todays youth. Todays youth have the unique potential of, if we do our part to contribute to the development, living longer than ever before and even once dying, we may be transferred to another device until it becomes possible to move us to a new body. It sounds incredibly SciFi, but a lot of this technology will be achieved using AI to calculate all the possible combinations and find the solutions that are most likely to work. That alone shaves off decades of manual experiments, allowing tech to grow even faster. We may never get to explore the stars, but we get to experience and contribute to all the technology required to do so. Without us, the future explorers would be land locked on a dying Earth.
