Cave Related Statistics

Jochen’s List of Cave Records

Sometimes people ask us about the biggest this, the deepest that, the oldest whatever. Here is a list of numerous interesting superlatives about caves, which are not really official.

Unfortunately we are not the Guinness Book of World Records. We just tried to collect some cave related records and present them here.
