This is a book that anyone who is interested in rock, geology, geography (karst) and the beauty of the natural world will treasure and use both as a reference and an easy reading entertainment. Caving in Ontario documents the unusual sub-culture of a group of people who are focused on a sometimes extreme activity that blurs the line between science, sport and exploration. "exploration in a landscape that is untouched by human passage".
