Description

With four extra pages.

Sleepless Nights

The grapevine is buzzing with news of a major South Wales discovery, with over 15km already surveyed. This issue of Descent carries extra pages to bring you the discovery and exploration of Ogof Draenen. What’s it like to drop down a pitch into a huge chamber, to surge down open streamway passage, to gaze in awe at crystal-covered walls, or be chased down a slope by a runaway boulder? Read on….

The Slit Pot Explosion!

A caver, stuck in the Slit of Slit Pot, then … ‘A bright flash permeated the spray-soaked air, instantly followed by a loud boom! Christ, he’s disintegrated!’

BCRA Conference ’94

What happened at this year’s conference? Five full pages of reports keep you informed.

In the Eye of the Beholder

Cave art is gaining acceptance, so much so that a new group has been established: the International Society of Speleological Arts.

The Dissident Mammoth

Rumin’s Horses are stylised cave paintings, so what’s so special about them? Their location, deep in a Russian cave rather than in the traditional sites of Europe.

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.
