| The deepest known cave on Earth is currently the Krubera Cave,
(sometimes known as the Voronya Cave.) The cave is located in the
Arabika Massif of the Gagrinsky Range in the country of Georgia. Kubera
cave acquired the title of ‘deepest cave’ in 2001 when Ukrainian
explorers were able to reach a depth of 1710 meters. The main branch
reaches a depth of roughly 2191 meters

Throughout the past 10 years, the exploration of Krubera Cave has
increased greatly. In 2004 the “Call of the Abyss” project pushed to the
‘Game Over’ point at 2080 meters below the surface. This was the first
time humans had reached a point below the 2000 meter line. The depth of
the cave was then extended further past the Kvitochka point discovering a
new branch in July 2005. This branch was further explored until 2007
when a dive down ‘Blue Lake’ measured it at 2191 meters.
