Porow Cave is a limestone cave in the Zagros Mountains, north of Kermanshah in Western Iran.[1] At 751 m deep, it is the deepest cave in Iran.[2] Joujar Cave has been reported as the second deepest, at 568 m deep.[2]
History
A British-led caving expedition to the Zagros Mountains in 1971 led to the discovery of the cave.[3] The cave was explored to a depth of 742 m when the expedition was forced to return to the surface.[3] The explorers believed that the cave might go on much further, possibly surpassing the Gouffre de la Pierre-Saint-Martin system, which at that time was the world's deepest known cave.[4]
The team returned the following year and passed their previous limit, but to their great disappointment, the cave sumped almost immediately at a depth of 751 m and could be explored no further.[3] To be "Ghar Paraued" became a term used in British caving for a small, disappointing breakthrough following the great effort to discover new passage.Шаблон:Citation needed
