Hidden in the depths of the Vietnamese jungle lies The Hang Son Doong, part of a network of over 150 caves. Discovered  by British cavers in 2009, the cave passage in Phong Nha-Ke Bang  National Park was originally thought to be a modest 150 metres long and  200 feet high <img src="http://i.imgur.com/uMOH7.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Intrepid journey: A caver stands in front of a huge rock formation as the light shines beneath a skylight in Hang Son Doong But these remarkable images - taken  during two further expeditions of the caves - show the previously  undiscovered depths of the magnificent cave passage, now the largest in  the world. At a mammoth 2.5  miles long, 330ft wide and almost 800ft high, Hang Son Doong also known  as Mountain River Cave, is as high as 25 double decker buses. And as shown in these amazing images taken by photographer Carsten Peter, there is even a jungle concealed deep inside the cave. Carsten  from Munich, Germany, took the images in 2010 when he joined British  and German cavers during further expeditions of the site. <img src="http://i.imgur.com/fpYbs.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Wonderful waterfalls: A waterfall explodes into Hang Son Doong in the  hidden depths of the Vietnamese jungle, which is part of a network of  over The purpose of the expedition was to make a complete exploration of Hang Son Doong and create a photographic record of the cave. Cartsen,  52 said he spent up to two weeks at a time deep inside the caves, where  he slept with just a sleeping bag and spent his time exploring and  photographing the secret underground world. He said: ‘We discovered new parts of the cave, it's a huge area so to find them and access them is very difficult. ‘Photographing caves of this size is a challenge, it needs a lot of preparation. <img src="http://i.imgur.com/0I5H1.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Going underground: Expedition members enter the cave, tunnelled out by  the Rao Thuong River in Vietnam - the cave was discovered in 2009‘But it's a great feeling to  photograph a newly discovered cave, for me I see the cave for the first  time when I see the photographs. ‘I love to explore, I have been in some great caves in my lifetime and this is one of the most magnificent. ‘I've been a photographer and explorer for the last 35 years and I've visited so many caves, I've lost count. ‘But this is by far one of the most unique and unusual caves I have ever seen. ‘To see a cave so large it has a forest inside is superb - it was overwhelming.’ <img src="http://i.imgur.com/CjXFk.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Gigantic proportions: At a mammoth 2.5 miles long, 330ft wide and almost  800ft high, Hang Son Doong also known as Mountain River Cave, is as  high as 25 double decker buses[CODE]http://www.dailymail.co.uk[/CODE] </blockquote>
