  • Recent Publications 1984 — 2017 Issues 1 — 100
    RECENT PUBLICATIONS 1984 — 2017 ISSUES 1 — 100 Recent Publications is a compendium of books and articles on cartography and cartographic subjects that is included in almost every issue of The Portolan. It was compiled by the dedi- cated work of Eric Wolf from 1984-2007 and Joel Kovarsky from 2007-2017. The worldwide cartographic community thanks them greatly. Recent Publications is a resource for anyone interested in the subject matter. Given the dates of original publication, some of the materi- als cited may or may not be currently available. The information provided in this document starts with Portolan issue number 100 and pro- gresses to issue number 1 (in backwards order of publication, i.e. most recent first). To search for a name or a topic or a specific issue, type Ctrl-F for a Windows based device (Command-F for an Apple based device) which will open a small window. Then type in your search query. For a specific issue, type in the symbol # before the number, and for issues 1— 9, insert a zero before the digit. For a specific year, instead of typing in that year, type in a Portolan issue in that year (a more efficient approach). The next page provides a listing of the Portolan issues and their dates of publication.

  • Marble Arch Caves
    Marble Arch Caves Marble Arch Caves are one of Europe’s finest showcaves allowing visitors to explore a fascinating, natural underworld of rivers, winding passages and lofty chambers. Lively and informative guides conduct tours past a bewildering variety of cave formations. Stalactites glisten above streamways and chambers, while fragile mineral veils and cascades of creamy calcite coat walls and create shimmering terraces. Spectacular walkways allow easy access while powerful lighting reveals the stunning beauty and grandeur of the caves. Electrically powered boats glide through huge caverns carrying visitors along a subterranean river. Tours last for 75 minutes and are suitable for people of any age and of average fitness. Comfortable walking shoes and a warm sweater are recommended. The Caves are open daily at 10.00am from mid/late March to September. The last tour of the day is at 4.30pm (5.00pm in July/ August). It is advisable to telephone prior to your visit to ensure that you can be accommodated and to check the availability of guided tours as the caves can be affected by heavy rain. Marble Arch Caves are located in a National Nature Reserve in the shadows of Cuilcagh Mountain and have coach and car parking, toilets and baby changing facilities, souvenir shop, restaurant, exhibition area, free audio-visual presentation and free WiFi. Education packages are available for school children and for those interested in lifelong learning. An events programme is delivered throughout the year. Marble Arch Caves are the focal point of the UNESCO endorsed wider Geopark area which stretches from the rugged landscapes on the northern shores of Lower Lough Erne in Co.

  • History of First Exploration of the Marble Arch Caves It Was in 1895 That Edouard-Alfred Martel, a Famous French Speleologist
    History of First Exploration of the Marble Arch Caves It was in 1895 that Edouard-Alfred Martel, a famous French speleologist, and a Dublin born naturalist called Lister Jameson, carried out the first scientific exploration of the cave on the invitation of the Earl of Enniskillen. The two companions, equipped with Martel’s American-made, collapsible, canvas canoe, set off into the unknown by candlelight. Dark, eerie shadows flickered and shifted before them while the blackness stole back in behind them only to be dispelled by stark brilliance as they lit strips of magnesium in the larger chambers. Light flooded these chambers, driving back the darkness and revealing their magnificent splendour to humans for the first time. Hours later, the two explorers emerged back into the daylight. Wet, cold and covered in mud but exhilarated by what they had seen, they were eager to tell of their adventures. Martel was so impressed that he suggested the Marble Arch Caves would make a fine tourist show cave in his 1897 book Irlande et Cavernes Anglaises. The Marble Arch Caves The Marble Arch Caves are a series of subterranean limestone systems in West Fermanagh within the lowlands of Cuilcagh Mountain. It is located in the Marlbank area situated near the villages of Florencecourt in County Fermanagh in Northern Ireland and Blacklion in County Cavan in the Republic of Ireland. The imposing entrance to the show cave is in the Cladagh Glen National Nature Reserve. This forested area is approximately 24 hectares in size and is one of the last remaining damp ash woodlands in Ireland.
