Have I missed something, or is there no mention of this on the forum??
Just in case:
17th Symposium of Volcanospeleology is being held in Hawai'i next year (Big Island).

Big Island is a well-cool place, the volcano is almost permanently active, and the lava tubes are fascinating & very extensive. If you can be flexible with your timings you can get flights for <?700 a head. Heathrow (LHR) to Kona (KOA) via Los Angeles (LAX) is the way to do it from the UK. It takes ages to get there, and even longer to get back so it's worth extending the visit if you can. We spent a long couple of weeks there a few years back and only saw a fraction of what we wanted to.
If anyone's going/thinking about going and want's a bit of advice on the place, just PM me
