Descending into the abyss: World Records Authority officially recognises Krubera Cave as the deepest point on Earth. Located in the Ortobalagan Valley of the Arabika Massif in Abkhazia, Georgia, this geological marvel reaches an unparalleled depth of 2,197 metres (7,208 feet).

WRA’s extensive verification process confirmed the cave’s complex network of vadose shafts and meandering passages, plunging to depths that continue to challenge the limits of human exploration. The cave’s subterranean world — with its vast chambers, underground rivers, and labyrinthine passages — represents one of the most extraordinary geological wonders on the planet.

Krubera Cave remains a pinnacle of geological wonder and exploration excellence. The World Records Authority proudly certifies this extraordinary natural phenomenon as an official world record.
