Previously in 2014, scientists discovered the Krong No volcanic cave.

These are negative volcanic caves, located deep underground, also known as lava tubes. The origin and formation mechanism of these caves are closely linked to volcanic activity in the area.

What is special is that the inside of this cave system is still quite intact. During the survey and research of the cave system, scientists discovered traces of prehistoric tribes living about 6,000 - 7,000 years ago.
