How Cave Length Relates to Cave Shape

"Hello. My name is Laszlo. We are going in this Matias cave, which is under the hill. And I will teach you about caving. Do you have any idea which is the longest cave in the world? South Africa? No. North Eastern? No. It's Kentucky, in the cold Mammoth cave system, and it is almost 600 kilometers long. Which is so tricky, because Hungary itself in the longest way is about 520. So the cave, which is in the states, so far, sorry, is just a bit, bit longer than Hungary itself. So, it's amazing. It's very tricky because if you heard the distances, the numbers, you imagine something long. But, it is tricky. The situation is the same with me because the area, I mean the part of the cave which covers the area, can be very small. Because it is like a spider web. It is so busy. So, there is even more confusing caves than this one. And there are some very simple. Most of the time the cold water keeps our long way where the water keeps flowing. Before you go in a cave, don't go alone and don't go without any guide. It is very, very important. It is dangerous."
