15Th INTERNATIONAl CONgRESS OF SpElEOlOgy:
ARE yOU REAdy TO REgISTER?!
The International Congress of Speleology (ICS) is
the world’s premier speleological event. An event of the
International Union of Speleology (UIS), it is held once
every four years in a location selected by the delegates
of the UIS member nations. The next ICS will be held in
Kerrville, Texas, USA on 19-26 July 2009. An estimated
2,000 people from nearly 60 countries are expected to
attend to share the results of their latest exploration,
research, and techniques. Registration will begin by the
end of July 2008.
The National Speleological Society (NSS) of the United
States will host the ICS in combination with its annual
convention for a truly spectacular affair. All of the usual
ICS and NSS events will occur in 2009, as well as some
new ones. This article covers some of the many activities
planned, but first, some important information:
Read the website: www.ics2009.us. Everything we
know and plan is immediately posted there. If something
is not there, we don’t know it or haven’t finished planning it
yet. If you want more details on anything below, go to the
website!
The 2nd ICS Circular will include the registration form
and a summary of all activities. As previously announced,
it will only be mailed to those on our mailing list who don’t
have e-mail addresses (Internet access) or have specifically
requested printed copies. It will be downloadable from the
website.
Reservations for all trips, rooms, and activities will be
based on the order in which you register. Reservations will
not be held for people who have not registered.
If you are submitting a paper, full registration must be
received when or before submitting.
If you need a visa, the Congress Organizing Committee
will gladly provide a letter of invitation to assist in the visa
application process, but the committee has no control over
the visa process or the decision of the U.S. Consulate.
A limited amount of support toward the payment of U.S.
entry visa application fees will be available to Congress
registrants from countries with developing economies.
Register early for the lowest price. For even lower
registration fees, some registration items are optional and
can be deducted.

General Information
The 15th ICS will be held at Schreiner University, a
small, beautiful private university in Kerrville, Texas, USA.
A shuttle bus will transport people between the university
and the many nearby hotels, which are available at a wide
range of prices. Some hotels offer discounts for people
attending the ICS. Clean, air-conditioned apartments and
dormitories are available at Schreiner University within
a one- to three-minute walk from the sessions. Plenty of
room for camping exists at the university and along the
Guadalupe River at a nearby former state park.
The Junior Speleological Society (JSS) will provide
educational, recreational, and social activities for children
of ages 7-17 who attend for the ICS, bringing young people
together from all over the world. The JSS will provide a

number of tables will be provided free to non-profit caving
organizations. If reserved early enough, a booth will be
provided for each UIS member organization bidding for the
2013 ICS. If no booths are available, a free table will be
provided.

International Cave Arts and Music Salons
The International Cave Arts and Music Salons are
competitions that promote and recognize excellent cave-
related art, artists, and musicians. They are open to
everyone and most entries will be exhibited during the ICS.
The highest award for each salon will be presented, and a
portrait of the winner will be shown during the Congress’s
Thursday evening Salon program. The salons are:
Ballad and Songs•

Photographic (projected slide transparencies and digital •
photographs)
Photographic Prints•
SpeleMedia (video)•
SpeleoArt•
Symbolic Emblems (pins, patches, logos, etc.)•
T-shirts•
Social Activities•
Three delicious banquets will be offered during the
Congress. The meals will be prepared by the best caterers
in the region. The NSS looks forward to sharing its traditional
“Howdy Party” on Monday night with speleologists from
around the world. This outdoor, informal banquet will feature
Texas-style barbeque, Texas-style music by a regionally
famous band, and a few surprises. On Friday evening,
the NSS will host its annual Awards Banquet to recognize
the accomplishments of its members. Everyone, including
non-NSS members, is welcome to attend. To help close the
week, the 15th ICS banquet will be held on Saturday night
with a formal and excellent dinner.
Tuesday offers a relaxing evening of music and song
starting with some famous cave balladeers singing their
tunes. Then the microphone will be open for anyone who
wants to sing caving or non-caving songs or simply play
music without vocals. Since the ICS is an international
event, folk songs and music from the countries represented
are especially welcome. Bring your voice and musical
instruments and be ready to perform!
Each year, members of the NSS donate interesting,
unusual, and often rare items for auction at the NSS annual
convention. The funds support NSS projects and activities.
This tradition is being brought to the 15th ICS. People
from around the world are encouraged to donate cave-
related items for the Wednesday evening auction. Money
from the sales will go to the UIS or the NSS, your choice.
What types of items are auctioned? Books, photographs,
artwork, music, newsletters and journals, jewelry, historic
equipment, registration to future conferences and trips…
anything cave-related. Use your imagination! Remember,
what may not seem special to you may be precious and
rare to people from other countries. The auction is always
exciting and fun, and will provide needed money to the
speleological organization you select.
The Terminal Syphons, a caver band which has played
at the NSS Convention since 1985, will perform later on
Wednesday night. Come to this exciting party and dance to

The SpeleOlympics will challenge athletes in five
individual events, plus one team event. The teams will
not represent nations but international friendship and
cooperation. Each person on a team will be from a different
country. The rope climbing, rebelay course, obstacle
course, cable ladder climbing, and surveying competitions
will be open to men and women of all ages.
Trips!!!
Fantastic trips will be offered before, during and after
the ICS.
Day trips will occur throughout the week to several
caves and tourist attractions. Registration for these trips
will take place at the ICS where times, locations, equipment
needs, costs, and other details will be listed. Prices will be
low, mainly to cover the costs of the transportation and any
entry fees. The caving trips will include simple and difficult
caves, wet and dry, horizontal and vertical—there will be
something for everyone. Bring whatever equipment you’ll
need for your preference in caving. In addition to caving, a
wide variety of cultural and family trips will offer shopping,
family fun, and non-caving outdoor activities. Most day trips
will leave the Congress in the morning and return in time
for dinner.
Have you ever seen 40 million bats?! Special evening
trips will be offered to watch the world’s largest bat colonies
fly out of caves. Evening trips to beautiful tourist caves will
also occur: Cave Without A Name, Caverns of Sonora, and
Natural Bridge Caverns. Like the day trips, registration for
the evening trips will take place at the ICS. Most evening
trips will leave the Congress in the late afternoon, have
dinner at or near the cave, and will return at night.
You must register before the ICS to join the pre- and
post-Congress field camps and excursions, as well as the
special one-day trips that will occur during the Congress
on Wednesday. Pre and post-congress field camps
and excursions generally include all meals, lodging,
and transportation (you will need to arrange your own
transportation to the trips and between the trips and the
Congress). Field camps focus primarily on wild (non-
touristic) caving, and you will be expected to bring your own
camping and caving equipment. Some will provide hostel
style accommodations. Excursions may offer some wild
caving, but will primarily focus on touristic caving, cultural
activities, and other easily accessed activities. Excursions
will include accommodations ranging from hostels to hotels,
and restaurants will serve most meals.
Twelve pre-ICS excursions and field camps, nine
post-ICS excursions and field camps, and 20 Wednesday
trips are planned! Some trips will appeal to those with a
general interest in caves, while others specialize in topics
like exploration, geology, biology, and management.
Registration for these trips must be received by 16 April
2009; participation cannot be guaranteed after that date.
Combining one pre-ICS and one post-ICS trip, you can
explore caves and karst across North America, from Los
Angeles to Washington, D.C. Combined, the 41 trips will
visit 17 U.S. states plus the Bahamas, Belize, Guatemala,
and Mexico.
Are you ready to register?
We hope you are, and we are ready to give you the
best ICS we can. Remember, this is just an overview of the
15th ICS. Go to the website and download the 2nd Circular.
Use it as a guide and then look at the website for more
details. Don’t forget to watch the 15-minute video on the
website to see Kerrville and more of what the 15th ICS has
to offer. If you still have questions, don’t hesitate to contact
us at: 15th ICS, P.O. Box 691965, San Antonio, Texas

While the U.S.A. is the host country for the 15th ICS, its
committees include members and assistance from around
the world. It is with this help and your attendance that we
expect this to be an excellent ICS where we can build and
strengthen international friendships. On behalf of the UIS,
the NSS, and the ICS Organizing Committee, we hope you
will join us in Kerrville for the 15th International Congress of
Speleology on 19-26 July 2009.

ИЗУчЕНИЕ ПЛЕйСТОЦЕНОВыХ ОТЛОжЕНИй ПЕЩЕР
УРАЛА
Вторая совместная экспедиция Горного института
УрО РАН (Кунгурская лаборатория-стационар) и
Украинского института спелеологии и карстологии
НАНУ и МОН Украины по изучению плейстоценовых
отложений пещер Западного Урала состоялась с
11 по 24 августа 2008. Работы осуществлялись в
рамках проекта «Оценка современного состояния
геологических природных комплексов и археологических
объектов на территории ООПТ регионального значения
в Алексндровском, Гремячинском, Губахинском и
Кизеловском районах Пермского края».
Основные исследования проводились во входной
части Виашерской пещеры в г. Кизел, где производилась
ревизия раскопок местных краеведов 1960-1980-х
годов. К сожалению, большая часть плейстоценовых
отложений, содержавших кости ископаемых животных
(а возможно и культурные остатки), здесь уничтожена и
в значительной мере заменена современным мусором.
Но все же, под большой упавшей глыбой удалось
найти целик ненарушенного залегания, содержавшего
фаунистические остатки. Кости и зубы принадлежали
главным образом пещерному медведю, а также
пещерному льву, северному оленю, мелким хищникам
семейства куньих и др. Грунт, как из ненарушенных
слоев, так и из отвалов раскопок прошлых лет,
подвергался промывке с целью выявления микрофауны,
мелких костей и зубов крупных животных. Отложения
относятся преимущественно к верхнему плейстоцену.
Более подробное их деление будет установлено по
результатам фаунистического и радиоуглеродного
анализов.
Разведочное обследование было проведено также
в пещере Барсучьей около г. Александровска, и в
Махневских пещерах. В последних кроме фаунистических
остатков, были выявлены верхнепалеолитические
кремневые отщепы.
