2.Read the passage and answer the questions.

There are many things that make the Son Doong Cave in Viet Nam a remarkable natural wonder. At about 9km in length, 200m in width and 150m in height, it is the largest cave in the world, with caverns capable of fitting entire city streets and skyscrapers. It is home to a river, jungles, and entire cave ecosystems.

The cave was found in 1991 by local man Ho Khanh. In 2009, a group of British cavers led by Howard Limbert explored the cave's interior, only then realising that it was possibly the greatest cave in the world. Son Doong Cave has dethroned Malaysia's Deer Cave as the world's largest.

The water and limestone that carved it over millions of slow, patient years have created spectacular and unique formations. Occasional collapses in the roof have allowed underground jungle ecosystems to form, and with them, all-new species that have never been seen anywhere else. Rare cave pearls, ancient fossils, and towering stalactites form around a river running through the caves, which are so large that they form their own clouds.

Now that the caves have been thoroughly explored, the government has granted tour operators permission to host treks through the caves, which have already begun operating this summer.

1.How large is Son Doong Cave?

2.When was the cave realised to possibly be the largest cave in the world?
