"The coverage provided within Ice Caves is encyclopaedic. My comments relate only to the few areas with which I have a little familiarity. There is a wealth of useful knowledge in the introductory overview, which is applicable to all countries. An excellent book. Expensive, but money well spent."--Cave and Karst Science
