When the brilliant light shines into the cave, visitors have the opportunity to admire the majestic rock formations more clearly, which were previously only dimly visible. At that moment, they feel even more acutely insignificant in the face of this magnificent natural wonder.
American photographer Ryan Deboodt captured these rare images during a visit to Son Doong Cave in Vietnam. After a long and tiring four-hour trek through the jungle to reach the cave entrance, he was finally rewarded.
OneTourists in the Son Doong cave expedition stand in a rare area of light, which only appears for about an hour each day.
American photographer Ryan Deboodt captured these stunning images during his visit to Son Doong Cave.

BareThe cave is over 120m high in many places, and inside there are stalactite formations up to 40m tall.
The impressive light show featured in the two photos above is a rare phenomenon, occurring only between 9:30 and 10:30 AM. According to guides, this phenomenon is particularly unique, appearing only in January and February each year.
Deboodt, the photographer who took these pictures, said: “In the morning, it was cloudy and foggy, and I didn’t think this would happen, but then at the right moment, a beam of light shone directly into the cave, creating a rare and magical beauty.”

"Admiring the beauty of Son Doong Cave shows us just how wondrous and powerful nature is. Standing before such magnificent formations, humans feel even smaller," Deboodt shared.

It's hard to imagine the incredible feat of nature in creating Son Doong Cave, which all began with small streams flowing through cracks in the rocky mountains.

Currently, Son Doong Cave holds the record for being the largest cave in the world.

The massive stalactite formations inside the cave can reach heights of up to 40 meters.
