That Wicked Smile
We sadly say farewell to a talented caver, leader and photographer, Paul Dold – the man with an infectious, wicked smile.
The Boreham Extensions
After access was lost for many years, Boreham Cave is once more revealing some of its incredible sights and secrets.
Caves in an Ancient Land
The Bible is filled with references to caves, so cavers who follow every lead might consider exploring the depths of Israel – though it might not be that simple.
Hidden Earth on Steroids
For a week in August cavers descended on and into the caves of the Yorkshire Dales: it was time to get down and dirty for EuroSpeleo 2016.
Cave Science

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.
