In the Verevkina Cave, an unknown life form was discovered in an underground lake

At a depth of more than two kilometers underground, researchers found a mysterious lake with organisms unknown to science. This was reported by the publication "MediaPotok".

The sensational discovery was made in Veryovkina Cave - one of the deepest in the world, located in Abkhazia. Since its discovery in 1968, brave speleologists have been tirelessly expanding the map of underground galleries. To date, researchers have managed to penetrate to an impressive depth of 2,223 meters.

The mysterious underground lake, which received the romantic name "Nemo's Last Stop," turned out to be a real refuge for living creatures that have remained unknown to biologists until now. These amazing organisms have managed to adapt to truly extreme conditions: almost complete absence of light, acute oxygen deficiency, colossal pressure, and low temperatures.

However, further study of this phenomenon has faced serious obstacles - at such colossal depths, there is not enough oxygen even for equipment to function, let alone humans. In addition, the environment here is extremely unstable and presents a deadly danger.

During one of the expeditions, a tragic reminder of the danger of this cave was discovered - the body of speleologist Sergey Kozeev. The brave explorer tried to conquer new depths alone but, unfortunately, could not return.

The discovery of a unique lake with a life form not described in scientific literature once again raises fundamental questions about how little we know about our planet. Veryovkina Cave may hide many more amazing secrets waiting for their discoverers.
