Researchers have found in Vietnam what they believe to be the world's largest cave:
By contrast, explorers walked 2.8 miles (4.5 kilometers) into Son Doong, in Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park, before being blocked by seasonal floodwaters—and they think that the passage is even longer.
In addition, for a couple of miles Son Doong reaches more than 460-by-460 feet (140-by-140 meters), said Adam Spillane, a member of the British Cave Research Association expedition that explored the massive cavern.

Cool that they did measurements with lasers, so as to avoid tromping around all over the pristine cave floor.

Awesome, I'd also like to see that when I visit Vietnam. If I ever do.

If you're ever near Tucson, be sure to (try) to see Kartchner Caverns. The Throne Room is awesome, although dwarfed by this beauty.

Just for the sheer absurdity, I'd love to throw a hot dog into it.

This is how 'Rhodan' began, isn't it?
