SKP7 is ready for kick-off. Between May the 11th and 30th, 10 Flemish cavers will continue their work on Soqotra Island. Some work in Hoq cave will be terminated with emphasising the protection of this site. The unknown southwestern karst areas on the island will be explored, some temperature data loggers in the Haghier Mountains must be retrieved and some new interdisciplinary research might start up.
