Photo by @shonephoto (Robbie Shone) - This is the view looking down into Titan shaft, inside a cave known for centuries as The Devil’s Arse (Peak Cavern), England. Carved out of water, these limestone cliffs measure 141.5 metres (464 ft) high. Titan is the biggest cave in the UK, and is tall enough to swallow the London Eye. In the 1770’s when nearby miners mined lead ore from inside Speedwell Cavern, they must have passed below Titans great boulder pile, unaware of what giant void lay directly above them. It wasn't until New Years Day in 1999 when Titan was discovered by local cave explorers, and it’s entire splendour was illuminated for the very first time, having been formed and sculptured in total darkness.
