Bottomless lakes in Phong Nha

Two lakes of "great mystery" are located about 500 meters from each other in the Phong Nha Cave. Experts could not reach the bottom of the lakes, although they used modern diving equipment and wires to measure their depth.
Director of the Center for Phong Nha - Ke Bang Ecotourism and Culture, Quang Binh province, said the center’s survey team and cave experts have discovered two lakes on the tourist route "Phong Nha Cave - discovering 1,500 meters of mystery." .
The first lake is about 70 m2 and the remaining lake is more than 300 m2. The lake is calm as a mirror. The water is cool and blue. Surveying the first lake, experts were surprised because the lake seems to have no bottom.
Experts could not reach the bottom of the lake, although they used modern diving equipment and wires to measure the bottom. As usual, the survey team decided to name the first lake Xuyen Son Ho.
