TIAN XING, CHINA: Staring down into the deep abyss this is not a sport for the faint hearted. Here in China’s Miao Keng’s underground caves, a team of international cave explorers claim to have discovered the worlds deepest underground shaft. Successfully connecting one large cave system to another the British and Russian teams successfully managed to create China’s first one kilometre-deep cave. Accompanying the group of international cave enthusiasts, photographer Robert Shone spent two months documenting their discoveries in the vast spaces beneath Tian Xing.
