Krubera Cave:-
In 2001, the Krubera Cave, alternatively called the Voronja or Voronya Cave, was named the deepest cave in the world. In October 2004, scientists estimated its depth to be 2,080 meters (6,800 feet). The cave is located in Abkhazia, a republic that belongs to Georgia but claims to be an independent state.
In order to reach the lowest depths of the cave, spelunkers from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem dove through water barely above freezing. They also experienced a flash flood that left them isolated for 30 hours. At depths of over 300 meters (1,000 ft), several life-forms have been found, such as cave pseudoscorpions, parasitic worms, and transparent fish—in near zero-degree water.
