Hang Son Doong, or Son Doong cave, is the largest on the planet, located deep in the jungles of Vietnam.

We’ve raved about its beauty and sheer size before.

Photographer and explorer Ryan Deboodt took a drone inside the cave on an expedition, and has some incredible footage from the journey. The scope alone is thrilling, but the way shafts of light reach down into the interior is truly stunning.

Set to a calm andΒ serene soundtrack, the video will transport you to a lush and calm other-world, a cave unknown until recently, one of jaw dropping scale and scope.

Make sure to watch the video fullscreen to get the full experience.

For how astonishing it is, Vietnam’s Son Doong Cave has flown under the radar. Discovered in just 2009, this enormous cave meaning “Mountain River Cave” was stumbled on by a farmer less than fifteen years ago in the deep jungle of central Vietnam. It has depth and scale that will drop your jaw, and some spectacular natural wonders inside, including waterfalls, 10-story stalagmites, enormous ‘cave pearls’ and dense patches of jungle in places where the cave roof has collapsed. The first commercial tours kicked off this August, with each explorer spending several thousands of dollars to get a chance to visit this amazing natural wonder. I think I now have something to legitimately add to the bucket list. Β Β Via ViralnovaΒ and National Geographic:
