Description

The Caves of the Kosua

The caves of the Darai Plateau in Papua New Guinea belong to the Kosuan people who, an Irish expedition has found, are some of the friendliest and most helpful you are likely to meet anywhere. And this is an area of the world with everything to play for, cave-wise.

A Case of Desecration

These are sad days indeed, when a cave is found damaged, formations smashed and destroyed … by cavers (to use the term loosely). And it appears to have been deliberate.

Cyclist, Orienteer, Runner … Caver

All his life, Bert Bradshaw was a little powerhouse, a man who epitomised the concept of endurance. The caving world is a little poorer without this long-time president of the Northern Pennine Club.

Beyond the Puddle

White Keld in Wharfedale started as a puddle in a corner of a field, but today cave divers have 1.2km of passage to traverse in their search for a route towards Mossdale Caverns and Langcliffe Pot.

Cave Science

Caribbean Art

Cave-based scientific projects are proceeding apace around the world; this one is revealing more of our human history in the Caribbean.

Pal-y-Cwrt Revisited

Far from being a minor, unimportant cave, Pal-y-Cwrt could be the key to unlocking a major system – and after years of receiving attention, at last a new extension has been made.

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.
