Quick Answer
Veryovkina Cave in Abkhazia, Georgia, reaches a depth of about 2,212 metres.
The Full Story
Veryovkina Cave, located in the Arabika Massif in Abkhazia (a disputed region of Georgia), has been explored to a depth of about 2,212 metres, making it the deepest known cave on Earth. It surpassed Krubera Cave (also in the Arabika Massif, at 2,197 m) in 2018. Reaching the bottom requires days of technical caving through vertical shafts, narrow passages, and underground rivers. The cave is named after Soviet caver Alexander Veryovkin. Exploration continues, and the true bottom may be even deeper.
Key Facts

2.The Arabika Massif is a limestone plateau with ideal conditions for deep cave formation.
3.Krubera Cave was the first cave to be explored below 2,000 metres (in 2004).
