The Clearwater System in Gunung Mulu National Park, Sarawak, Malaysia is believed to be the largest interconnected cave system in the world by volume and the 8th longest cave in the world at 207 km (2014).〔(World's Longest Caves )〕 The system lies mainly under the western margins of Gunung Api between the Melinau Gorge and Cave of the Winds. The first exploration by speleologists was during the 1977/78 Royal Geographical Society Mulu Sarawak Expedition when 15 miles of the cave passage were surveyed. Many expeditions by the Mulu Caves Project have increased the explored length and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. ==References== Mulu Caves, Brook and Waltham (1979), Royal Geographical Society Caves of Mulu '80, (1981), Eavis, Royal Geographical Society Caves of Mulu '84, (1985), Eavis, British Cave Research Association Mulu Caves '88 and '89 Expeditions, (1989), Kirby, Mulu Caves Project Mulu Caves '91 (1991), Kirby, Mulu Caves Project 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Clearwater Cave」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
