Surrounded by stalactite formations and with an underground river system beneath, this lake, with its clear, turquoise water, has been tentatively named the "suspended lake."
On May 11th, representatives from Jungle Boss Co., Ltd. (Phong Nha town, Bo Trach district, Quang Binh province) reported that during a recent cave exploration trip, members of Jungle Boss unexpectedly discovered a giant lake located much higher than the main river branch of Thung Cave (Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park).
Located about 1km from the entrance to Thung Cave, this lake is considered one of the most pristine caves, situated deep within the strictly protected zone of Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park.
The lake is surrounded by stalactite formations with an underground river system beneath. This enormous lake, with its crystal-clear, turquoise water, has been tentatively named the "suspended lake."
Currently, the source of the water flowing into this lake has not been found. Notably, the lake is situated approximately 15 meters higher than the underground river system. Additionally, the expedition team discovered a passageway halfway up the Thung cave wall, crossing the main branch of the underground river.
According to Le Luu Dung, Director of Jungle Boss Limited Company, at the time of the expedition, due to a lack of depth-sensing equipment, the team members were unable to locate the water source that created the lake's unique location. The team will return to survey and explore this area in the near future.
The discovery of the suspended lake, alongside Thung Cave and other caves such as Tron Cave, Hung Cave, and Ma Da Valley, promises to be unique nature exploration tourism destinations in the Phong Nha - Ke Bang primeval forest.
