Pristine cave discovered in Samar
TACLOBAN CITY, Leyte—A pristine cave with an underground river has been discovered in Calbiga, an old town of Samar province, by a group of six Italian and three French spelunkers.
The cave, about six kilometers long, is at the upstream section of the Langun-Gobingob Caves, the largest cave system in the Philippines and reputedly the second largest in Asia, and the third largest karst formation (an area of limestone rock formation characterized by sinks, ravines, and underground streams) in the world.
