Caves and Karst In Manitoba's Interlake Region - 2nd Edition

Caves and Karst in Manitoba's Interlake is comprised of surveys conducted by The Speleological Society of Manitoba. This expanded second edition, edited and compiled by W.D. McRitchie and K.M. Monson was published in 2000. Among other things it includes an explanation of how caves are formed, the flora and fauna inside, and how caves are found. From beginning to end, it tells the story of the caving movement in Manitoba starting with the very first field trip in 1987 when the St. George Lake Bat Cave was discovered - still the largest bat hibernacula in the province.

The book contains 84 surveys of the most important/impressive caves found in Manitoba. However, they are only a portion of more than 225 caves discovered so far. These caves have been organized into 3 major geographic areas; Grand Rapids Uplands, Lake St. Martin and the Southern Interlake. To find and survey the caves featured in this book, members of the SSM have investigated hundreds of square kilometers of Manitoba wilderness and invested thousands of volunteer hours.

This book is available from the SSM for $20.00. Order a copy online by visiting TinyPay.me, or contact us directly for other options.
