Longest underground river found

Cave divers in Mexico's Yucatan peninsula have discovered what may be the world's longest underground river, connecting two cave systems with a waterway at least 95 miles long.

A group of foreign divers exploring the area near the Caribbean beach resort of Playa del Carmen have yet to name the stretch, but believe it could be connected to two other major systems, adding more than 125 miles to its length.


I'm filing this under "cryptoterrestrials." Just because.

I don't think it's where they live, but it's a neat demonstration that there are places right here on Earth that we don't know a thing about.
