Shortly before the Bulgarian naval research vessel Sv. Sv. Kiril i Metodii (RSV 421) left the south bay of Livingston Island on the eve of March 5, the crew was fishing for research purposes, when they caught a curious creature - an Antarctic sun starfish (labidiaster annulatus). The specimen was an adult with 40 rays and a span of over 50 cm.
