The publication is 'written by cavers, for cavers' and features high quality photographs and articles related to underground exploration. As well as the major features, Descent maintains a network of correspondents in each of the caving regions of the UK and Ireland. The correspondents gather reports on the latest caving discoveries and other caving news for their area.[2]
