Louise,
Certainly not length; Mammoth is uncontested in that category.
Volume or cross section is what they're referring to, but even those
are equivocal because they are so difficult to measure accurately.
Those reports are widely considered to be overblown, but
nevertheless it is a huge underground space. Once Lidar scanning
becomes more widespread maybe we'll be able to address such claims
more realistically.
