Galante said, “I went into Son Doong, which is the world largest cave. That was only discovered in 1995. It’s this massive opening six miles of underground cave. You know you don’t see daylight for 2 days, you should look at the pictures of this place.”

“You will love it. It looks like something out of the Avatar. I mean this cave you can fit New York City skyscrapers inside of it. It’s so big. And has its own weather system,” he added.
