    these pics are what shown up when I searched

    Huh, search engines really are becoming useless lol

    I suspect the deepest cave doesn’t look as “Fantastic” as this.

    Not the case! I was trying to find what “The Last Nemo Station” mentioned in the wiki was, and this came up. It didn’t actually answer my question, but has some great internal photos of the cave, like

    The lowest point in the cave. The siphon. Up until this expedition, this siphon is undived and nobody knows what lies beneath. This is the deepest point in the deepest cave in the world! At -2212m underground. Leader Pavel Demidov climbs up the rope above two swimmers swimming in the sump pool 12m below. A strong current coming up from the left hand side suggests that there might be a flooded passage below the surface, but up to now, who knows? During the flood pulse that cave down through the cave a week after this photograph was taken, all of this completley filled up with water, right up to the roof.

    A small but pretty grotto in the entrance section of the lowest levels of the cave system that lies just above the water table. Pictured here, (my assistant) Jeff follows Roman and Natasha down a calcite ramp and through the grotto made of flowstone. It is very rare and unusual to see so much flowstone and stal this deep in a cave, espically an active cave that fills to the roof in flood conditions. During the flood pulse that cave down through the cave a week after this photograph was taken, all of this completley filled up with water, right up to the roof.

    Natasha Sizikova and Roman Zverev of the Perovo Speleo Caving Team on a traverse around a deep pool of water in one side passage off the main route through the lowest levels of Veryovnika. During the flood pulse that raged into these chambers during the expedition this gallery completely filled up with water, and was totally submerged.
