Description
Digging Deep for Malcolm
Finding cavers supporting cavers within the community is not unusual – and now we have a call for help.
Through the Nipper
Mayday Hole is not an easy cave, at least judging by how few cavers had been through its major constriction. Then a team thought about digging beyond it …
The Bagpit Depression
In a major article blending exploration with hard science, Descent takes readers on a voyage of discovery into the depths of Bagpit on Mendip.
The Dig in not-Meridian
You know how it is … find a surface collapse, think a bit, decide that thinking is a waste of time and you have to start a dig!
Twitterers and Influencers
Memorials and memories are important, especially when events trigger cavers to write down their anecdotes of times now gone.
The Darkness
Prompted by reports on an experiment in time and isolation, Chris Kell’s imagination has produced this work of fiction.
The Catacombs of Lake Crowley
The ‘catacombs’ – in reality, caves – on the shore of Lake Crowley in California are truly unusual, with their twisted, divergent columns.
Stoned-age Art
A recent paper on what might have influenced prehistoric artists in the course of their creations has thoroughly got under Joe Duxbury’s skin.

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.
