IS this the world's deepest cave?
In China's mountainous village of Tian Xing, a team of British cave explorers say they have discovered the world's deepest underground shaft.
Connected by two cave systems, Qikeng and Dong Ba, their combined depth measures an astonishing 1026m.
Photographer Robert Shone spent two months with the climbers charting their discovery beneath Tian Xing.
