This rocky chasm in China is one of the world's deepest underground shafts. Connected by two cave systems, Qikeng and Dong Ba, their combined depth measures an astonishing 3,100ft, or 1,026 metres. And it located in China's mountainous village of Tian Xing.
An international team of cave explorers who discovered the cave, near the village of Tian Xing, are seen descending into the abyss.
The cave is said to be one kilometere deep
The picture was taken by photographer Robert Shone, 28, of Manchester, who spent two months with the climbers documenting-their explorations.
Camping underground for four to five days at a time, the team were able to explore the extensive network of caves and tunnels.
