The Deepest Cave On Earth Was A Prize That Had Remained Unclaimed For Centuries, Long After Every Other Ultimate Discovery Had Been Made: Both Poles By 1912, Everest In 1958, The Challenger Deep In 1961. In 1969 We Even Walked On The Moon. And Yet As Late As 2000, The Earths Deepest Cavethe Supercaveremained Undiscovered. This Is The Story Of The Men And Women Who Risked Everything To Find It, Earning Their Place In History Beside The Likes Of Peary, Amundsen, Hillary, And Armstrong.In 2004, Two Great Scientistexplorers Are Attempting To Find The Bottom Of The World.

These Supercavers Spent Months In Multiple Camps Almost Two Vertical Miles Deep And Many More Miles From Their Caves Exits. They Had To Contend With Thousandfoot Drops, Deadly Flooded Tunnels, Raging Whitewater Rivers, Monstrous Waterfalls, Milelong Belly Crawls, And Much More. Perhaps Even Worse Were The Psychological Horrors Produced By Weeks Plunged Into Absolute, Perpetual Darkness, Beyond All Hope Of Rescue, Including A Particularly Insidious Derangement Called The Rapture.James M. Tabor Was Granted Unprecedented Access To Logs, Journals, Photographs, And Video Footage Of These Expeditions, As Well As Many Hours Of Personal Interviews With Surviving Participants.
