For decades, geologists have known that Vietnam is home to some of the world's most spectacular caves, many of them largely unexplored. Now husband-and-wife cavers have documented perhaps the world's largest: Hang Son Doong, big enough in places to accommodate a New York City block of skyscrapers.
The cave in the Annamite Mountains contains a river and jungle (its name translates to "mountain river cave") and even its own thin clouds, and its end remains out of sight. It's part of a network of about 150 caves in central Vietnam near the Laotian border.

It's insane.

Is it really newly discovered, or just newly discovered by rich western people with expensive cameras?

It is funny how it says the caves are "new", when they have been there all along, lol. Should say they are 'newly discovered'. :)
