Dragon's Breath Cave is a flooded karst cave located in the Otjozondjupa Region of Namibia on private land, not accessible to the general public. The cave was discovered by Roger Ellis during a caving expedition to the area in 1986. It is named for the warm, moist air that rises from its entrance when barometric pressure drops, which condenses to form a mist suggestive of the breath of a dragon.
