Google honors Son Doong cave

Translated by Bing
Son Doong Cave, Quang Binh, was advertised on the Google homepage as a cartoon image, to commemorate the day Ho Khanh and his Royal British expedition officially discovered the world's largest cave, April 14, 2009.





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


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


On its website, Google also introduces and praises the world's largest cave. They use the word "unparalleled natural phenomenon" to describe Son Doong cave. For example, the inner pavilions of Son Doong cave are large enough to accommodate an entire 40-storey building. Scientists have also discovered countless geological formations, including the largest limestone "pearls" and the world's tallest stalactites.


Visitors who are interested in Son Doong cave but have not had the opportunity to explore in person can admire it through the online exhibition "Wonders of Vietnam" on Google Art & Culture, launched in early 2021. To directly explore, visitors need to book early, the tour price is nearly 70 million VND.
