Description

With extra pages

Climbing in the Eastern Front

Since the breakthrough into the Eastern Front in Large Pot in April 2013, exploration has continued. George North brings us up to date alongside Jeff Wade’s photography in this major extension.

Caves of Kras

Descent (223) reported on the First International Meeting of Cave Photographers in France, the illustrated coverage drawing much praise. The second meeting moved to just outside Trieste on the Italian–Slovene border, producing a new crop of images from some of the world’s top creative cave photographers.

Jungle is Massive

‘BOOM. The sound echoed. Finally, we’d done it – we’d hit something big in Durmitor.’ And it not only proved ‘big’, it proved utterly massive for the latest York University CPC trip to Montenegro.

Poetry in Motion

A sophisticated digging system has been in use in Rowter Hole, where scaffolded shafts are yielding some significant advances.

Once More Beyond the Deep

Sistema Huautla in Mexico calls cavers again and again to seek greater depths. The problem is, that means cave diving on the very forefront of exploration – but it was worth it, as the team gained a new record.

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.
