The Mammoth Cave System in southcentral Kentucky, USA, is the world’s longest known cave. The area above the cave was designated as a national park in 1941 that has since been codified as globally significant by UNESCO as both a World Heritage Site and an International Biosphere Reserve, although continued exploration has shown that the cave extends far beyond the boundaries of the national park. About 20 km of passages are developed for tourists.
