A photographer found an enchanting lost world, when he stumbled across a secret cave.

Adventure photographer Ryan Deboodt, 32, captured these jaw-dropping images at the end of last month.

The cave, which was found a month ago, is near Vietnam’s Phong Nha Ke Bang National Park. It is thought to be an extension of a previously discovered cave called Hang Tien.

Ryan said: “It was a really amazing feeling to find a completely new cave.

“Being in big caves is truly otherworldly. The darkness descends around you and nothing seems familiar.

“I love the feeling of not knowing what lies ahead. It feels like I’m on another planet with the darkness of space all around me.”

When the cave was formed, the walls became scalloped, due to water running through – creating beautiful waves of black and white.

He added: “The walls and ceiling were nearly perfectly horizontal with stripes of black and white limestone.

“We had to trek through lots of inter-connecting caves, to reach this hidden one – traversing through dense jungle and over razor sharp limestone rocks.”
