Description

Eight extra pages

Extending Krypton

Another discovery has been made in Peak Cavern, high above known passages.

Hypogenic Danby

Hypogenic caves – those formed by rising water rather than surface flow – are uncommon, but now another has been documented in the UK.

Gaping Gill: the Survey

A new survey of Gaping Gill has been released and is published here alongside the story of its creation.

Neuland

Lechuguilla Cave in New Mexico is one of those rare systems: beautiful, unusual, keeping secrets that science seeks out, concealing hidden passages awaiting discovery. The most recent of these is Neuland, a major, gypsum-covered extension.

Do Nothing by Halves

Ray Mansfield’s time with us touched many, his friends numerous and his influence widely felt. We pay tribute to this calm, generous caver.

Cave Science

The Flows Beneath Malham

A major experiment, the largest of its kind ever run in the UK, has investigated the waters of Malham Cove.

Shadowplay

The tragic history of Mossdale Caverns has not dissuaded cavers from visiting its extremities, albeit quietly in the shadows.

Prophetic Fiction

The first edition of Descent set a milestone in 1969 – we might have moved forward ever since, but it is never too late to look back on an article that is both amusing and (just a little) prophetic.

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.
