The new NRMG video series: over 70 talks, newly remastered

We've got something big to share. Over the years the grotto has recorded more than 70 talks: AGM presentations, expedition recaps, cave science, survey stories and more. We're remastering every one of them, and they're coming to nrmg.org as the grotto's new video series.

They're better than ever: cleaned-up video, great audio and captions. Each one goes up at nrmg.org/talks, free to watch, with no ads. Every talk gets its own page, with chapters to skip around and the whole transcript alongside. It follows along as the talk plays, you can search it, and clicking a line jumps the video right there.

What's coming

Expedition recaps from Silvertip, the Scapegoat and Tears of the Turtle. Castleguard, caving in Cuba and the coldest caves in Greenland. Fossils in caves, cave photography, white-nose syndrome, Lewis and Clark Caverns, and years of AGM talks. New ones go up a few at a time, and we'll announce every batch here and in NRMG News.

Start with these two

Whose Goat Is This Goat: Adventures at the Scapegoat Cave System. Brian takes us through the history of exploration at the Scapegoat, leading up to the 2020 expedition: piles of snow in September, frigid water plunges and a whole lot more.

Back in Tears: The 2019 Expedition to America's Deepest Cave. Pete on the 2019 expedition to Tears of the Turtle. Is it going to go deeper? Will anyone ever get Jason to go back?

Give a talk, add to the library

We want YOUR talk in the library. A trip slideshow, a survey story, some cave science, the expedition you've never stopped talking about. Give it at the spring AGM or record it at home, and we'll help you get it recorded and up on nrmg.org with the rest. Write to [email protected].

Have an old recording of a grotto talk that never made it online? Send that too. We'd love to add it.

Until the rest are remastered, the originals are on the grotto's YouTube channel: youtube.com/channel/UCBIjQScrysSSwerVf4_tpLg.
