	CUCC Journal 1970: Cyprus
		The route to Pentadactylos follows made-up roads as far as the head of the valley containing the long twisting village of Kythrea.
		I also mapped the entrance to Pentadactylos, which is invisible from a distance of a few yards.
		During this period I had a good look at a hole above Pentadactylos Pot which appeared to be in the same rift and gave the prospect of extending the pot upwards by a couple of hundred feet.

	Cyprus Geology: Unique in the World
		Troodos and the Pentadactylos range first rose above the surface of the sea about 20 million years ago.
		The tip of the Troodos mountain range is a slice of a 90 million year old ocean crust, an ophiolite that formed 8 km below sea level.
		These were the forerunners of the Troodos and the Pentadactylos mountain ranges, which reached their present height about 1-2 million years ago.
