It might be because I’ve just woken up, but I feel like I’m missing the joke, where was Ellison Cave mentioned? Or is this that you were taught the deepest cave in the world was in Georgia, but the wrong Georgia? 😳
Either way, those pics are both fantastic and terrifying…
lol, these pics are what shown up when I searched Veryovkina which is in Abkazhia, Georgia; however, they are of the Fantastic Pit in Ellison Cave, Georgia, US. It seems more than a few sites have confused them both. I suspect the deepest cave doesn’t look as “Fantastic” as this.
Also:
August 2024 – during another expedition of the PSC the cave depth was decreased to 2,209 meters (7,247 ft). The previously established connection between the stream at the bottom of the cave and the Blue Lake (Голубое озеро (Абхазия)) on the surface enabled the precise measurement of the cave depth by taking into account the difference in heights between the entrance and the bottom siphon using a high-precision GNSS receiver EFT M3.
Huh, search engines really are becoming useless lol

Not the case! I was trying to find what “The Last Nemo Station” mentioned in the wiki was, and this came up. It didn’t actually answer my question, but has some great internal photos of the cave, like
In case anyone else is curious: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veryovkina_Cave
I’ve been bamboozled, neither of these are of Veryovkina. They’re of Ellison Cave in Georgia, US not Georgia.
NGL those are some cool AF pics
There’s an awe in the horror of such a chasm
A beauty in its terror

Here is a gmaps view of the cave entrance, Blue Lake is at the foot of the mountain.

That first pic is the Fantastic Pit in Ellison Cave, Walker County, Georgia, USA.
dammit
The real MVP! TY!!
Interesting that top4 deapest caves are in Abhazia.
It is! And I’m sure there’s a good geological explanation for it, too, but I wouldn’t know it. 😳😂
