Just amazing… I’m spending time travelling in European and have just seen a Unesco cave, but this one is unbelievably big, beautiful and… Well, I have to be back soon, exploring that hidden charm. Love my country a lot!
I love my country !
this is ridiculuosly beautiful!
man! with some real dinosaur or giant ancient animal that would be way more awesome
A tradução das legendas para o português está uma verdadeira porcaria.
Fora isso, as fotos estão maravilhosas. Essa caverna parecem muito com aquelas que vimos nas telas do cinema, só que num parêmetro ainda melhor…parabéns a Carsten Peter…estão divinas!!!
Politicians in our country and yours created the mess, your govt was corrupt too, gonna blame that on us regular citizens?. We have no control over what happens. My father was Native American, an Apache. He told us to never bring up the evil past. You need to stop the hate. I would rather have you as friend, I grew up in the 70’s with many Vietnamese friends. I love them like family because I took time to understand, you need to as well.
I came here to admire what man has not destroyed yet. I am a diver and enjoy exploration and fellow humans cultures. Although different, any culture on this Earth is my culture. Hate is what divides us. Let us enjoy the Earth and the Beauty in Vietnam. Take your hate somewhere else.
No lie, the small group of politicians that ruin it for the rest of us in the USA get the riches, and we later generations still get the stink eye from the world. They blame that on us. I guess the Vietnamese corruption rampant in the US food stamp program and elsewhere is out fault too?
Fantastic this video..

Didn’t realize I was a racist by enjoying this National Geographic film.

Carsten was recently named Nat Geo’s “Photographers’ Photographer”.
Hopi bunita pabien from Curacao!
Hhhmmm another carsten…..XD
Oddly my fascination with a world inside the earth led to me writing a book. This only furthers my fascination. Wow.
The fitocasts (that’s the right spelling?) look like land corals, amazing.
Mind blowing!! We have barely scratched the surface of exploration on this planet.
Great job done….NG and Carsten.
Thanks for bringing this magnificent cave to all of us.
So far so good, You and your team hold the record !
Just cross finger and hope that none will break yours …
Cheers,
Btw, honestly , GREAT shots you have made
once in a lifetime rarely you get a chance to go through such experiences .. i am a bit jealous
Crazy, man. U’re really a fortunate and lucky person, been able to feel that. Just infinite thanks to show me the sensations you experienced there in. I love lighting and the ambience of the shots. I hope to get there once, but your stills may be enough for one life. Caves here are not such big chambers…
Keep on going!
Carsten Peter lives on my street… I don’t know what to say to him though, and he’s never outside.
No, this cave was created by 7 million tons of bombs that U.S dropped in Vietnam
Absolutely fantastic, thank you as always National Geographic!
