    It's on OpenStreetMap already https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/651633176 and someone's named it the "Sarlacc Pit" (Star Wars reference). Unclear if the OSM editor came up with it or if it's from somewhere else.

    There's a river going there, how could this have been missed? Anyone got a map of this?

    I’m curious as to how there are massive caves like this that we still haven’t discovered. Wouldn’t satellite imagery along with some ML be able to find these?

    Wow ... That Cave is huge ... What unexpected things could we find there?

    I used to live quite close to there. As the bird flies, doesn't seem that remote. Probably hard to get to though.

    It contains a maze of twisty little passages.

    I would be curious to see a picture of where the underground river emerges.

    It seems like it’s full of water during the summers though...
