We are ready with the preparations and have finally all permits to start SKP3!
This time we will explore the island for 5 weeks with an interdisciplinary team. I also obtained a Ph.D.-scholarship entitled:
"Late Quaternary palaeoclimate reconstruction with the use of stable isotope geochemistry of Soqotran speleothems (Yemen)." Also the cave fauna will get more attention!

Cavers crawl underground... everywhere!
Each team member is exploring underground wonders worldwide with their own projects, so it is rather quite on the SKP-front!

Dutch updates...
After 2 years we will update our website in Dutch, our mother-language. From now on all new information will be available in Dutch first and will be translated into English afterwards. Our French friends will have to wait a little longer for a summary in their language, "mais on arrivera un jour"?

Postponing the truth...
Recently Rudi and I gave an interview to the Dutch outdoor magazine “Op Pad”. We will let you know when it is published.
Our report concerning the archaeological founds would have been broadcasted on national television, but that particular day the Dutch politician Pim Fortuin was murdered, so everything is postponed again.

TV coverage: setting things straight!
Thanks to Chris Butnaru we had a splendid course of GPS and the integration of the data with new software possibilities. Next expedition every subteam will work with his daily set of tracks and waypoint. We are currently searching for the original maps of Soqotra. Is there anybody out there who can help us?
In the beginning of this month Rik and I went together with a camera team of the national Belgian television to the Netherlands. Here we met Dr. Prof. Emeritus Sanders of the University of Leiden, a specialist in early Christianity in the Middle East. He gave his view on the artefacts founds on the island and the film crew made their report. Everything was edited at the VRT (Flemish Radio and Television) and we got a copy of this 7min.42sec. during documentary. We will keep you informed on when it will be broadcasted.
We where also invited by the Dutch Caving Society to give a lecture and to present our film about SKP at their annual meeting in Zeeland (The Netherlands).
