Hello fellow speleo,

Reason I am contacting you is because I wondered if you might be interested
in the fact that I have recently published a book detailing the complete
history of cave discovery and exploration in Papua New Guinea. The narrative
documents over 30 international expeditions over a period from the
mid-1950s up to the current time, culminating in the recent discovery, by
French speleologists, of the 1,178 metres deep Muruk Hul, now the deepest
system in the Southern Hemisphere, and certainly one of the most beautiful
caves in the world.

If you are interested in a copy it can be ordered via the internet from
Spelebooks in the US. Their website is www.speleobooks.com and email
address: .


Cheers

Howard Beck
