Jeongseon Biryong Cave (Korean: 정선 비룡굴), is a limestone cave in Jeongseon County (Gangwon Province), South Korea.[1] The cave has total length of 1.2 km[2] and was first discovered in March 1966.[3]
There is no running water within the cave, and hence within it, stalagmites and stalactites are rare.[2] it has almost stopped growing, and artificial pollution and damage are serious. Consequently, access is controlled.[3]
It was designated a natural monument of Gangwon Province on February 26, 1980.[1] The cave is home to Namkungia biryongensis,[4] an endangered species[5] of ice-crawler insects. Fauna of this cave discovered so-far include 12 orders and 21 species.[3]
