The French Federation of Speleology held its work in Turkmenistan

Karstologists and speleobiologists from the French Federation of speleology worked on the territory of the Koytendag State Nature Reserve for ten days. This is reported in the newspaper "Neutral Turkmenistan".

The scientists inspected Kapkutan, Gulshirin, Hoshimoyik and Intermediate caves and studied the cave invertebrate fauna. Researchers from France also photographed stalactites, stalagmites, aragonites, made topographic measurements to create a three-dimensional map of the Gulshirin cave. Such maps allow geologists to carry out seasonal measurements, and they help tourists to make routes.

It is planned to compile such maps for all caves located in the territory of the reserve. The work of the French scientists will allow them to add to the store of knowledge about the caves of the Koytendag Reserve.
