I’d toss in a couple of frag grenades before going in.

Yes, but did they find some steel Old Style cans and the remnants of a fire inside? Or is this cave previously undiscovered by civilization?

Possibly the world's largest cave passage, Hang Son Doong was discovered in the heart of the Vietnamese jungle by a British caving team. At 150m long and 200m high, it is seven times as high as York Cathedral

The article mentioned that the locals were aware of its existence but were afraid to go inside. But it's hard to believe that no one in the entire history of mankind had ever ventured inside. I'd bet there are lots of Paleolithic artifacts inside and it's going to be interesting to see what they find.

You see where they said they think there are bigger ones in the Amazon? Amazing that the world’s two or three largest caves may still be “undiscovered!”
