Description

The Descent Competition

Protecting Diggers

Try your hand at our competition; it’s easy enough, with five prizes to win.

Cave Science

Passages

Passages … So many forms, so many types – but what’s the difference?

Hot Dog Days

Being invited to join Project Morpheus, cave diving in Croatia, is one thing – but having to learn to dive first is another!

Caverns of the Mind

Frank Pearson is undertaking cave exploration of a different nature: in the mists of history, how did caves figure in literature and imagination?

A Foot in Both Camps

We know the media understands caving poorly, creating a story where none exist. Was it always so? Sid Perou thinks so.

Beneath the Hollow Mountain

Imperial College cavers have been pushing hard in Slovenia’s Sistem Migovec. It’s time for a five-year round-up of the results.

Chasing the Zawn Lead Lode

The Carbis Bay Crew show that discoveries can still be made in abandoned and forgotten Cornish mines.

A Return to Lechuguilla

After twelve years, Tim Fogg has returned to Lechuguilla Cave to help make another film.

Write it down!

A Well-earned Rest

It’s unwise to make assumptions in caving – to do so, thinking you might have an easy time of things, can lead to a seriously long trip.

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.
