Description

THIS EDITION IS PRINTED ON CARBON-BALANCED PAPER, A RENEWABLE RESOURCE

Getting from There to Here

It’s been quite a journey, with changes for Descent along the way. And more are coming …

The Best of Books

Which books made the Tratman Award 2020 shortlist and, more importantly – which one won?

The Cave and Karst Conservation Dilemma

How do we cope with the perennial problem of caring for our caves and karst, and find ways to reduce human threats?

Sweltering in Savoie

In a heatwave, cavers enjoyed the cool of the caves and the relief of night air at the 18th International Congress of Speleology.

The Shape of Emptiness (Part 2)

Frank Pearson concludes his coverage of how Fing Hopeless Pot was discovered and explored. It seems that things are never really hopeless!

The Caves of the Ardèche

For an international group of cave photographers, the pre-Congress camp offered so many opportunities.

Cave Science
Castleton’s Pulse

Science has found an explanation for the unusual flood pulses recorded in some Peak District caves.

Labyrinthine Labours

The north of England sees yet another new cave discovery. Join us for a trip down Draughting Hole.

The Descent Caption Competition
Secret of the Sea Cave

Our caption competition comes to a close and we have a winner who takes home a high-quality Petzl caving light. For the rest of us, it’s time for a wry smile or a groan or two.

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.
