01/13/2020 热门资讯 双河洞,位于贵州省,是中国第一长洞。 经过中法洞穴专家30年联合科考,截至目前,已探明双河溶洞群相连总长度超过200公里(尚有部分正在探测)。 如果在未知、黑暗、崎岖、遍布陷阱的密闭空间内探索161.788公里需要多久?答案是27年。 每年冬季,中法两国的洞穴学家和探险家都会齐聚双河,对双河洞地质公园及周边区域进行联合考察,图为法国探险家准备下降进入双河洞内更深的深渊。 每当他们发现新的洞穴和洞段时,便会尝试将它们连通。图为绳降进入更加神秘的双河洞,如果是雨季,这里是一个壮观的地下瀑布。 双河洞结构复杂,水洞、旱洞并存,深度超过550米,由上中下8条主洞,200多条支洞,5条地下河,可谓洞挨洞、洞连洞、洞上有洞、洞下有洞、洞中套洞。 清水洞的长度已超过200公里,不过没有发现新的洞口,接近极限。而在双河洞300平方公里的范围内,发现洞口就达216个,而探洞者们只联通了其中34个。 这只是已发现的部分,双河洞究竟有多大,目前不得而知。为了提升考察的效率,这些探险家干脆在住双河洞里,一呆就是四五天,设备电池用得差不多了再出来。 双河洞超长的洞道,容易形成了众多小环境,完整地保存了远古地质地貌特征、古生物化石甚至是存活至今的古细菌,对于研究者来说,双河洞就像一把钥匙,打开远古地球之门。 上世纪80年代,当地人在皮硝洞中采硝,亿万年形成的乳白硫酸钙结晶被整块敲下,以1块8毛钱100斤的价格卖出,做成墙灰或者粉笔。破坏性的开采皮硝洞显得异常荒凉。 雪白的粉末状沉积物布满了整个洞道,犹如置身银装素裹的北国;透明、半透明的晶簇像野花般四处绽放;细小的云母颗粒如钻石闪耀着七彩的光芒。 还有众多柱状石膏单晶聚合成放射状晶花,洞壁上沉积的纤维状、絮状石膏,似雪白轻柔的棉花,石膏晶花洞,被专家誉为世界级奇观,成为双河溶洞压卷之作! 由于洞口狭窄隐秘,石膏晶洞却奇迹般的保存下来。进入石膏晶洞,会让人误认为自己进入了北国,雪白的沉积物是天然形成的石膏粉末。 能走进这里的人无疑是幸运的, 3万多平方米的石膏沉积物堆积在800多米长的曲折洞道内,既有石膏石笋、石膏钟乳、石膏卷曲石,更有晶莹剔透的石膏晶簇、晶花……如此种类齐全、面积巨大的沉淀景观,在中国是独一无二,在世界上也属少见。 Academic Enrichment Programs for 1st - 8th Grade Students Join Us To Be Elite Tel: 571-217-2357 Published on Jun 14, 2018 At 148 miles in length, Shuanghe Cave in China’s Guizhou province holds the honor of being the longest cave in Asia. No one knows it better than 61-year-old farmer Zhao Zhongguo. He’s spent the past three decades exploring the cave complex, documenting over 2,000 cave entrances and mapping it all by hand. Now, his discoveries have inspired scientists and government officials to survey the surrounding region, helping to bring international acclaim to the area. Shuanghe Cave in Zunyi City in southwest China's Guizhou Province has been named the longest cave in Asia, and the sixth-longest in the world. Offering serious and challenging mathematics to intellectually gifted students A recent expedition by Chinese and French explorers to southwest China's Shuanghe Caves in Guizhou Province has put the cave to the 10th longest in the world.
French caver and lead expert of the exploration Jean Bottazzi said the expedition has put the total length of the Shuanghe Caves at 200.427 kilometers and discovered 46 connecting minicaves.
Though some 15 kilometers shy from Malaysia's 216 kilometers-long Clearwater Caves, the new discovery nonetheless has advanced the Shuanghe Caves from the world's number 11 to the top 10.
The Chinese-French joint exploration started in 1987. The recent expedition is their 30th joint venture. Though excessive rainfall in the region eventually forced a stop of the expedition, the cavers of the two countries had a significant discover.
"We found a layer of limestone 50 meters thick on top of the caves' dolomite. Usually the thickness of a limestone layer in the region is 10 to 20 meters. So this is what provides support on the celling and prevents the cave from clasping as it develops in dolomite," said Luo Yongming, a senior engineer of the Guizhou Geological Survey.

The spectacular Han Son Doong cave in Vietnam is so gigantic it could fit a 40-storey skyscraper within its walls.Tours are limited to 450 visitors each year in a bid to create a sustainable future for its vast caverns and plant-life.
With the eerie green glow inside the mystical, echoing cavern, Vietnam's Han Son Doong cave looks like it could be on the edge of the world. The huge cave - large enough to fit a 40-storey skyscraper - is so massive that it has its own climate, and clouds even form inside it.
At more than 200m high, 150m wide and 5km long, the Hang Son Doong cave in Vietnam is so big it has its own river, jungle and climate. Australian photographer John Spies, 59, spent a week photographing the natural wonder of the cave system. "With ceilings towering over 200 metres high in places, the cave is a humbling and belittling experience," said John, who has lived in Thailand since 1977 and runs the Cave Lodge guesthouse
It's not a trip for the faint-hearted - it takes a half day trek through a stunning jungle peppered with butterflies and a journey through knee deep rivers to finally get to the entrance of the colossal cave.
Adventurous explorers must also pass through the third largest cave in the world, Hang Ev cave - used as a location for the Peter Pan blockbuster. Journey Through the Largest Cave in the World | Expedition Raw Son Doong Cave—the largest in the world—wasn't discovered until 2009. Now, National Geographic grantee and photojournalist Martin Edström, takes us deep inside Son Doong as he tries to capture its overwhelming size and beauty in 360 degrees.
