Cavers smash world depth record
Krubera is the deepest known cave in the world
A Ukrainian team has set a new depth record for caving.
The nine-strong group travelled 2,080m (6,822ft) underground, passing the elusive 2,000m mark at Krubera, the world's deepest known cave.
The team was part of a project that has made breaking through 2,000m its goal for the past four years.
It built on records set by a previous expedition, which blasted through blocked passages in the cave, within Georgia's breakaway region of Abkhazia.
