Son Doong Cave |
Tall enough to house a 40-story building, Son Doong is also large enough to accommodate a Boeing 747. Discovered in 2009, Son Doong is located in Phong Nha Ke Bang National Park, Quang Binh Province, Vietnam. Son Doong is currently the largest cave in the world, with its enormous size, rich vegetation, and surreal beauty inside.

Mendenhall Ice Caves |
A very difficult place to access, the Mendenhall Ice Caves system is located 20 meters deep under a glacier. However, the scene here is unlike any other. The glacier that created the caves is melting due to climate change, so this natural wonder is at risk of disappearing. Mendenhall is located in Alaska, the land of glaciers in the US.

Waitomo Caves |
This is not a Disneyland attraction, but a real place in New Zealand. The cave is most beautiful at night, when the darkness is lit up with countless tiny lights, resembling a starry sky. The beauty is due to the glowworms that live in the Waitomo Caves.

Swallows Cave |
At first glance, the cave appears to be just a 60-meter underground space, but the entrance to Swallows is hidden inside and the depth is what makes the difference. At 365 meters deep, it is not only a great destination for the extreme sport of BASE jumping, but also the second deepest place in Mexico. The opportunity to jump here attracts many tourists to challenge themselves as well as witness the spectacular jumps.

Deer Cave |
The cave has a huge entrance, and from the outside it looks very similar to the alien world in the blockbuster Avatar. Deer Cave is 122 meters high and contains many strange stalactites and hundreds of bats. The cave is named Deer (deer) after the animals that live naturally in Mulung National Park, Malaysia, and Deer Cave is also their home.
