Kan-i-Gut cave

Kan-i-Gut cave is a geological protected area located at north slopes of Turkestan Range in Batken District, Batken Region, Kyrgyzstan. The cave consists of 18 large caverns, deep cavities, narrow passageways and tunnels. It is 6,000 metres (20,000 ft) long and 100 metres (330 ft) deep. From the 6th to the 11th century the cave served as a lead and iron mine. Silver and other metals and minerals were also mined here at the time. The first miners in the cave were Arabs, so the Chinese continued, and much later during World War II, Soviet political prisoners mined here.
