A small look at one of the largest creations

So, I was aimlessly procrastinating, and somehow ended up on a site that did nothing that show amazing pictures. Most of it was just mindless drivel, but one piece caught my eye.

It was called Son Doong Cave, and so far it's the largest cave in existence.

National Geographic

The cave, located in Vietnam, averages 80-by-80 metres, making it slightly large enough to house a town. This is also helped by the fact that when it was explored three years ago, explorers trekked over 41/2 kilometres through it before being blocked by floodwater. The only reason this behemoth of a cave wasn't explored by the locals inhabiting the land was because they were terrified by the whistling sound wind made as it travelled through the caverns.

More National Geographic

Andy Eavis, president of the IUS (International Union of Speleology), stated that the cave 

'is so large it may not actually be beaten. It's three times the size of Wembley Stadium...'

I've travelled to many, many countries over my life.

None of them can compare to the colossus that Son Doong Cave is. The sheer size dwarfs anything I've ever seen or heard of, even Deer Cave, the now second-largest cave in the world (while 22 metres wider, it's a puny 1.6 kilometres long). Seeing something so big, something that encompasses so much space it defines the very word 'big', makes you feel very, very small.

Yep, National Geographic

Seeing this was helpful. It helps take you outside what you're normally used to, and makes you realise how much there is you're missing out on, while nudging thoughts that have sat dormant at the back of your head.

So, enjoy the photos. And look around. See how much space there is.
