Images of Parau Cave, Iran’s deepest and most dangerous cave in the west.

Parau Cave in the Zagros Mountains, north of Kermanshah in western Iran, is the most dangerous cave in the country, claiming the lives of five speleologists already.

The following images of the cave have been released by the Iranian Students’ News Agency:
