Hey everyone! Thank you all so much for watching! As a quick FYI, the image at 15:58 is not a real image. Also, hello to all of the new subscribers! Glad to have you here and that you're enjoying the content!

Edit According to RS Stewart of the Jamaican Caves Organisation who posted down in the comments, the decomposing bodies may not give off deadly gases after all. Here is the link to his channel - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCW_O6s9ShR9lIFLJNSmRKOg - He's got some very cool videos of the caves in that area

13:18 "One team member was even carrying a stove and four sleeping bags attached to his harness." WHAT A LEGEND

How fascinating. I can't imagine finding a deep hole in a mountain range and thinking "You know what? I'm going down there."

@KaiTheMemeKing 2 years ago

I'm genuinely shocked no one died in that first story. Those people are incredibly strong. The guy with the stove deserves more props!

That team member who was carrying a stove and 4 fucking bags defiantly needs a world record 💀

Small update: Veryovkina is no longer the deepest cave on earth. It was very recently dethroned by the Krubera cave where, during the latest expedition to it, max depth measurements of an underwater lake were taken and added to its total depth, putting it above Veryovkina.
There's a full documentary about the expedition on youtube!

"One team member was even carrying a stove and four sleeping bags attached to his harness."
Guy hauling all that ensuring his buddies will eat and sleep as well as possible in such a dire situation, what a badass!

Ah, yes. The fear of heights and claustrophobia, all in one.

13:18 carrying a stove and four sleeping bags , the real gigachad

The biggest irony here is that to get into the cave, you have to go up a 7500 foot mountain--which means that even once you are at the deepest point of the cave, you are still higher up than when you started.

That guy was insane to attempt to go down that cave by himself, I don't care how much experienced a caver he was that was insane.

i cannot even begin to fathom the mind of that man. he hiked up a mountain in the Caucuses in the winter to the worlds deepest cave, by himself, without telling anyone where he was going. then went down into the cave for days in total solitude and darkness. it's utterly brainless how he went about it but the sheer confidence and willpower he had is just incredible to me.

The irony of being cut into pieces to be retrieved from underground, only to then be buried back underground again, is pretty freaking wild.

The fact that Sergei had researched and planned out this trip for a year and didn’t bring stirrups for his ascenders is mind boggling

Being way down thousands of feet inside a cave and a vortex of water under trying to suck you down into the abyss sounds like one of the worse things imaginable.

So the russian team members saved Jeff´s and Robbie´s lives as they let the less experienced climbers go ahead while they stayed back down in the rising flood. These guys are incredibly brave.

@Happy_Shopper 2 years ago

I was so unbelievably relieved to hear that the expedition group survived

@kokonana4086 4 years ago

Mad respect to the Russian guy who managed to carry a stove and other equipments through that torrential whirlpool of water and emerged at the other end without any scratch. Such a badass!

Sadly a few years later the groups leader Pavel Demidov died in another cave in the same area I forget it’s name but he had gone back to get some more rope for him and his caving partner and his buddy noticed he had been away longer than normal so he went back and saw that some rocks fell on Pavel and killed him. He was a very knowledgeable brave cave spelunker.😞

Can we take a moment to realize that this cave is so deep, complex, and isolated, that if any explorer's light source were to go out, it would mean guaranteed death.
