Israeli cave explorers discovered the cave named Malham, the world's longest salt cave with striking stalactites near the Dead Sea. Previously, Iran's N3 cave held the record. Malham Cave: The cave named Malham is stretched over 10 km. It runs through Mount Sodom, Israel's largest mountain, and spills out to the southwest corner of the adjacent Dead Sea. Pale salt stalactites hang from the ceilings, and some of the walls sparkle with salt crystals. Drops of salty water are visible at the tips of some of the stalactites. Iran's N3 cave: But in 2006, researchers mapped over 6 km of the N3 cave in southern Iran's Qeshm island, granting it the widely recognised status of the world's longest salt cave.
