The four new caves in Quang Ninh District are: Nuoc Ngam (3,872 metres), Nuoc Lan (1,919 metres), Hung Thoai (460 metres) and Coincidental Cave (100 metres).
The expedition also found five caves in Minh Hoa District: Three Horned Viper (194.8 metres), Phu Nhieu 4 (2,012 metres), Cha Ra (314 metres), Thoang Lip (137 metres) and Ma Lon (463 metres).
They are all extremely spectacular and pristine with underground river systems. There were no human footprints found in the caves.
