Veryovkina Cave is the deepest cave in the world which is in first place because it has a depth of up to 7,257 feet or 2,212 meters. The claim to be the deepest cave was made in 2018, when a group of Moscow speleologists made a record decline.

The Veryovkina limestone cave is located in Abkhazia and was first discovered in 1968 but was largely unknown until a speleology club from Moscow discovered it again in 1982. Veryovkina Cave or Verëvkina is named after Alexander Verëvkina, a cave diver who died in 1983.

Krubera-Voronya Cave is also located in Abkhazia and became the second deepest cave in the world in 2001 with a depth of up to 7,215 feet or 2,199 meters. This record was held until 2018.

The cave was originally named after Alexander Kruber, a Russian geographer. However, a group of speleologists observed several crows nesting in the cave entrance, so they dubbed the cave "Voronya" or "Crow's Cave".
