Movile Cave (Romanian: Peştera Movile) is a cave in Romania discovered by Cristian Lascu in 1986 a few kilometers from the Black Sea coast. It is notable for its unique groundwater ecosystem rich in hydrogen sulfide and carbon dioxide but very poor in oxygen. Life in the cave has been separated from the outside for the past 5.5 milion years and it is based on chemosynthesis rather than photosynthesis. More than 30 endemic species were discovered inside.
