Son Doong Cave, Quang Binh, is promoted on the Google homepage in the form of an animated image, to commemorate the day Mr. Ho Khanh and the British Royal Expedition officially discovered the world's largest cave, April 14, 2009.

On April 14, Google changed the avatar on the homepage to celebrate the anniversary of the discovery of Son Doong cave.


Google Doodle recreates the image of a giant sinkhole located deep in a cave with sunlight shining brightly on the scene with many shades of green of mountains and forests. This image is currently on the Google homepage of 17 countries and territories including Vietnam, the United Kingdom, Romania, Sweden, Greece, Singapore, Thailand, Mexico, Argentina...
