Description

Dropping the Hemisphere’s Deepest

In 1995 an expedition to Papua New Guinea explored a cave to a depth of more than 1km. This year the challenge was to make a through-trip and push an open lead in ‘the most promising cave on the plateau’.

Taking the Healing Airs

Speleotherapy is a well-known medical treatment prescribed by doctors in many eastern European countries – so why is it virtually unknown elsewhere?

The Bad News, and the Good

With expedition grants thin on the ground the big news is that major funding is once again available – so send for a form and go for it!

A Return to Pir Ghaib

Frustrated by repeated attempts to explore a cave in the hills of western Pakistan, it’s the fourth time lucky for Simon Brooks.

Time to Play TAG

Freshly returned from this year’s NSS Convention deep in the heart of TAG country, Ian Chandler reports on the reception given to SpeleoArt in the USA.

IMPORTANT NOTE FOR EU CUSTOMERS

On 1 July 2021 the EU removed all exemptions for tax and customs duty on low-value items posted from the UK to the EU, meaning that although VAT is 0% on books and magazines in the UK, it is charged within the EU and the VAT (potentially plus a handling fee) now applies to all orders to the EU.

All small publishers in the UK are now in the same position – we are unable to post any items to the EU with VAT or other duties paid.

When ordering any item from Stalactite Publishing, including a Descent subscription, you accept responsibility for paying the VAT and any other local charges on delivery.

Stalactite Publishing is not able to cover any charges levied by your country; it is your responsibility to accept these when placing an order.

We apologise for this situation, but please understand that it is outside our control.
