A cave or part of a cave that has not been visited by people in "recorded history." For example, if a cave explorer finds what appears to be newly unexplored passage, but then happens upon a petroglyph or an arrowhead, then he or she could claim, they were in virgin passage. ( The petroglyph or tool may be of neanderthal origin, and would therefore, not count as human visitation. ) However, normally a virgin passage shows no sign of human visitation at all. If it could be proven that any footprints were hundreds of years old; then it would be noted by the discoverer that "the passage appeared to be virgin with the exception of footprints left by a native inhabitants of the region."

Do speleologist explore a new cave passage before mapping it?
It is accepted practice in the speleology community that if you believe you are in unexplored passage, that you should take the time to survey it properly before continuing down the passage. There are a few exceptions to the rule. Such as, you were not expecting to find virgin passage and didn't bring survey equipment. If your intentions are to map the passage later, then a short scouting trip up the passage will give you a good idea what survey gear will be needed. You won't get much credit for the discovery of the cave or passage unless you publish a map of it in a caving journal.

If a lava tube cave is just below the surface then how can one be considered a deep cave?
Cave depths are measured from the altitude of the upper most portion of the cave with the altitude of the lowest portion of the cave passage. In the case of a lava tube cave, the passage is related to the lava flowing down the slope of the landscape. Since a lava cave can be over 8 km long, it is possilble that the upper portion of the cave is over 300 meters higher than the lower portion of the cave. It can be very strenous to travel from the top of such a cave to the bottom and possibly back out the entrance from which you came. Ref: http://www.caverbob.com/lava.htm
