BCRA's Cryogenic Cave Calcite Competition

If you Google for Cryogenic Calcite Competition it will take you straight to plenty of information about BCRA's new competition, managed by Gina Moseley, to help find cryogenic cave calcites (CCCs) in the UK. CCCs are a special type of speleothem deposit that form in ice caves, and hence can be used to establish when a cave was an ice cave and can also be used to provide information about past permafrost environments.

For the purposes of the competition, the UK has been split up into six regions, and the group or person that finds the most caves with CCCs per region will win 200m of rope, or ?240-worth of caving equipment. Information about the competition is on the BCRA News Forum where you can ask questions, discuss the topic and post your photos as competition entries. The competition judges will be Gina Moseley, John Gunn, Marc Luetscher and Andy Farrant.

Thank you, Pegasus
