Data from the field!

These days friends go on holiday and 24h later, you can watch their report on youtube or alike. An example:


Although the report is very nice, it is always informative to check out cave visits.



And I can assure you that this pool (the ONLY pool) inside Hoq Cave IS NOT MEANT TO BE USED AS A DRINKING WATER FACILITY!This is the ONLY habitat known so far of some endemic troglobiontic species, so extremely fragile and valuable.
We can only hope nature will cope with all this change?!
