[33] So far, the Fisher Ridge Cave System has been mapped to 131 miles (211 km). [6] In 1976, Rick Schwartz discovered a large cave south of the Mammoth Cave park boundary.
The Big Hole has a surface of 17 hectares (42 acres) and is 463 metres (1,519 ft) wide. It was excavated to a depth of 240 metres (790 ft), but then partially infilled with debris reducing its depth to about 215 metres (705 ft). Since then it has accumulated about 40 metres (130 ft) of water, leaving 175 metres (574 ft) of the hole visible.

Indeed, while TBJH was initially discovered in 2021, scientists only measured its depth down to 900 feet due to limitations in the echo-sounder technology — which calculates speed based on sound ...
