Product Description
Visit some of the natural world s most awe-inspiring surroundings in Great Caves of the World. This visual feast tours 28 of the most spectacular caves from across the globe, each chosen for its unique appeal. Highly regarded geologist and caving expert, Tony Waltham, provides a concise introduction to the subject before exploring the exceptional characteristics of the featured caves.

Dwell in forests of sparkling ice columns deep inside the Pinega Caves, Russia; be dazzled by the beautiful mineral deposits in Lechugilla Cave, USA; and discover the classic Yorkshire pothole at Gaping Gill, England.
