  Interesting … what’s special about that one spot on earth that all 4 of the deepest caves would form there?

  Anyway, I imagine this graphic is likely to change in the future, since the deepest parts of caves are often the least well-explored. When I was doing work as a cave explorer, we often did day trips to map parts of the upper cave, but trying to get to the deepest portions involved major multi-day expeditions. To get to the deepest unexplored frontier of one cave I worked in required a 4-day journey, one way.

      Pretty much all caves are in karst topography. What’s so special about this area in particular?
