There are almost certainly thousands, if not tens of thousands, or hundreds of thousands of undiscovered caves exactly like this around the globe. And even that is probably a wild underestimate. The world is a very, very big place, and humans, despite all our activity, have barely scratched the surface of most of it.

That lends credence to Journey to the Center of the earth.
Maybe we still have dinosaurs lurking somewhere? Jurassic Park anybody?
