It might be because I’ve just woken up, but I feel like I’m missing the joke, where was Ellison Cave mentioned? Or is this that you were taught the deepest cave in the world was in Georgia, but the wrong Georgia? 😳
Either way, those pics are both fantastic and terrifying…
lol, these pics are what shown up when I searched Veryovkina which is in Abkazhia, Georgia; however, they are of the Fantastic Pit in Ellison Cave, Georgia, US. It seems more than a few sites have confused them both. I suspect the deepest cave doesn’t look as “Fantastic” as this.
Also:
August 2024 – during another expedition of the PSC the cave depth was decreased to 2,209 meters (7,247 ft). The previously established connection between the stream at the bottom of the cave and the Blue Lake (Голубое озеро (Абхазия)) on the surface enabled the precise measurement of the cave depth by taking into account the difference in heights between the entrance and the bottom siphon using a high-precision GNSS receiver EFT M3.
Here is a gmaps view of the cave entrance, Blue Lake is at the foot of the mountain.

Huh, search engines really are becoming useless lol
