Description

Caving in the Land of the Gods
In August the 14th International Congress of Speleology was held in Greece. In addition to lectures and events, there was plenty of caving going on.

Seeking the World’s Deepest Through-trip
Once the world’s deepest cave, Austria’s Lamprechtsofen now offers the world’s deepest through-trip. Fay Hartley wants to undertake it – and shows the true meaning of perseverance.

Expeditions in a Teacup
Expeditions over the years have led to many strange occurrences – take a look at this latest book, of which we have two to give away.

The Sea Caves of Staffa
The caves of Staffa, including Fingal’s Cave, have never received a proper examination by cavers – until now.

Farewell the Mighty
We have recently lost two of our stalwart cavers – Wilf Taylor of Lancaster Hole fame and that character of Peak District caving, ‘Ben’ Bentham.

Gear Review
Toughprint
Waterproof ‘paper’, tough enough to withstand a cave.

The Descent
No, not your favourite magazine – it’s The Descent, the movie, and readers’ thoughts of this horror-fare.

Saving the Sublime Karst
With cavers having explored Papua New Guinea for more than thirty years, Dave Gill feels it is time to put something back in and help to protect its threatened karst.

Nullarbor Dreaming
In the first of a two-part article, Martyn Farr heads for remote, unforgiving Australian karst, cave dives and kangaroos.

Images from the Past
The Morgan Signature
Here in the showcave, oft ignored, lies the signature of early Dan yr Ogof pioneer Jeffrey Morgan.

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.
