Descent Publication Dates

The following table was created by Chris Howes and displays issue numbers and publication dates for Descent, with credit for the photographers who supplied the cover images and their locations, to the October 2022 (288) edition when Wild Places passed on publication to Stalactite Publishing. This is therefore a legacy page, maintained as a service for cavers.

Years are separated by a blue background; notes appear on a green background. Full details for each edition are linked from the issue number.

Issue no.
