By pure chance and blind luck, this man had discovered an entrance that had remained hidden from man for millions of years into what would turn out to be the largest cave in the world, a behemoth five times larger than the largest known cave at the time. World’s largest cave. For years the entrance remained unexplored.

Deboodt spent eight days camped inside the cave, one of the world's largest, with a GoPro fitted onto a drone. First explored in 2009, Son Doong Cave is located in Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park in central Vietnam. Deboodt's video takes viewers on a flight through its massive caverns, some of which are almost 500 feet (150 meters) wide and 650 feet (200 meters) high. (Read about an expedition to the end of Son Doong.).

Approaching the jungle of Son Doong cave. Again, those little red specks along the bottom are people. Currently, Son Doong cave is recognized as being the world’s largest cave by far, much larger than the previous title holder, Malaysia’s Deer Cave. The main cavern is so large that it has its own climate, and clouds have even been known to form within it.

For me, it's that caves are one of the last unexplored areas in the world, Deboodt says. The cave is nearly 3 miles long and, until a Vietnamese farmer led cave explorers to it in 2011, was relatively unknown to the world. Here are some images Deboodt shared on his Facebook page: Post by facebook.

The cave, now known as Son Doong Cave, or “the cave of the mountain river” was far larger than anyone had ever imagined. The largest cavern stretched for over 5 km (about 3 miles), was 650 feet wide, and had walls that soared upwards over 200 m (656 feet), high enough to comfortably fit a modern day skyscraper. Son Doong Cave. That little speck with the light is a person.
