17th Symposium of Vulcanspeleology

Aloha from our mid-Pacific Polynesian island,

The small band of cavers on the Big Island of Hawai'i, together with a larger group of regular visitors, welcome you to attend the next Symposium of Vulcanspeleology on Hawaii in 2016.

It will be the 25th anniversary of the last time the symposium was held in Hawai'i. In the past 25 years there have been some momentous discoveries here and we hope that many vulcanspeleologists will make the effort to see the world class lava tubes and other volcanic features (active and dormant) on the Big Island. We, the organizers, will do all we can to make your long trip very worthwhile.

The registration is now open for the 17th IVS in Ocean View, Hawaii, February 6-13, 2016. You link to the registration page (RegOnline) as well as the First and Second Circulars, at http://www.cavepics.com/IVS17/.
