Krubera Cave, Georgia
Krubera Cave, also referred to as Voronya Cave, is the world’s deepest cave, located in Abkhazia, Georgia. Exploration has reached as far as 2,197 meters, making it the only cave known to exist on the planet that reaches further than 2,000 meters.
The name Krubera Cave is derived from the name of the Russian geographer Alexander Kruber. The alternative name Voronya Cave is translated to mean ‘Crows’ Cave’ in Russian. Crows Cave was appropriate because the Kiev speleologists noted the presence of several crows at the entrance in the 1980s. A cave diver named Gennadiy Samokhin was responsible for reaching the lowest reported depth in the cave in 2012, at 2,197 meters.
