Description
Adopted Son of Mendip
We say farewell to a caver embedded in Mendip caving and co-author of its guidebook, Tony Knibbs.
Life Under Earth
Bring on the Microbes
Hazel Barton continues her series on how microbes have helped to shape the passages we traverse, using sometimes unexpected food sources.
Mossdale. A survivor’s story
It is barely possible to mention Mossdale Caverns without thinking of the loss that occurred there exactly fifty years ago. Yet, not every caver died that day.
Beyond Yorkshire Gold
A long series of expeditions have taken York University cavers ever deeper into Bunda Jama in Montenegro – indeed, their explorations have taken them to greater depths than Yorkshire Gold.
Write it down!
Grave Superstition
Strange things have happened deep in the Gouffre Berger.
Cave Science
Opening Your Eyes to Cave Science
It might not always seem so, but the science of caves touches all of us and, in one way or another, every caver might become more involved in research that makes a difference.

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.
