In the Pyrenees of southern France, there is a cave containing some of the world’s most spectacular and deeply hidden secrets. To get there you must crawl on your belly through a long tomb-like passage, with your only light held between your teeth.

Will Hunt explores the deepest darkest places around the world.  An early obsession with finding lost treasures in his own neighborhood has led him to a discovery that goes much deeper than hidden artifacts.
