Mamo Kananda, Limestone cave system in Southern Highlands, Papua New Guinea.
Mamo Kananda extends through 54.8 kilometers of passages within the Muller Plateau, reaching depths of 528 meters beneath the surface.
The initial exploration of Mamo Kananda began in 1973 by the Niugini Speleological Research Expedition, leading to major discoveries in subsequent years.
The cave network, known locally as Atea Cave, represents the connection between surface and underground water systems that shape regional communities.
The cave entrance sits at the base of a 300-meter deep doline, requiring specialized equipment and experienced guides for safe exploration.
The Space Oddity chamber within Mamo Kananda contains over 1 million cubic meters of volume, making it one of the largest underground spaces.
