What are the Largest Caves in the World?
The winners for the largest caves in the world can be based on several different conceptions. If the largest caves are those with the largest chambers, then there is a clear winner. The cave with the largest chamber is the Malaysian cave Gua Nasib Bagus, located in Gunung Mulu National Park, with the chamber in question being named Sarawak Chamber. Sarawak Chamber is 2,300 feet (about 700 m) long, 1,300 feet (about 396 m) wide, and around 230 feet (about 70 m) high. The runner-up is Carlsbad Caverns, located at Carlsbad Caverns National Park in New Mexico, in which the Big Room, a natural limestone chamber, is almost 4,000 feet (about 1,219 m) long, 625 feet (190.5 m) wide, and 350 feet (about 107 m) high at the highest point.
