World's Largest Cave

Hang Son Doong Cave
"Cave of the Mountain River"

Day 216 of My Italian Learning Journal*

_____________________

In my youth a visited what I thought was a large cave at Carlsbad Caverns National Park in the Chihuahuan Desert of southern New Mexico. Yesterday I read about the Hang Son Doong Cave in Vietnam -- the world's largest cave. It is believed to be between 2 and 5 million years old. Going to youtube.com, I found numerous videos about this amazing cave that is an underground world that even contains it's own forest. and river. It is more than 5 kilometers (3.1 mi) long. Below my practice script I have embedded a video of the Han Son Doong Cave. (Corrections needed in my practice Italian script below are welcome.)
