Description

Greatly extending the long out-of-print first edition, this new volume features over 300 specially redrawn cave plans, colour plates illustrating the Jamaican underground scene and a large number of extracts from up to now unpublished expedition logs and anecdotal accounts of explorations. This second edition of “Jamaica Underground” provides the one single source of detailed information at the caves of Jamaica.

For each and every of the over 1,000 listed sites information is provided at the depth, length, altitude and characteristic features in conjunction with a guide to the equipment required for exploration. “Jamaica Underground” also features a comprehensive annotated bibliography of over 500 entries. These range from scientific studies of speleogenesis, karst process, hydrology, biospeleology and palaeontology, to more general reading that allows you to be of interest to visiting cavers and noncavers alike.

The simplest comprehensive volume at the caves of Jamaica, this book is a speleological treasure trove of knowledge and makes a significant contribution to the speleology of tropical karst regions.
