A group of scientists, consisting of Prof, Eliza Uzunova (ichthyologist and hydrobiologist), Prof. Mark Irvine (marine biologist), Kalin Naydenov (geologist), Tihomir Stefanov (ichthyologist), as well as musician and music editor Marina Velikova, docked at Ereby Point, where they worked on their projects. This happened on the 11th day of the 32nd Bulgarian Antarctic Expedition, which set off from Sofia on 7 January.
Ereby Point lies some 7.2 km east-northeast of Hannah Point along the north side of South Bay, Livingston Island.
Elka Vassileva of the Bulgarian Antarctic Base, and Alexander Nedyalkov, cameraman and photographer of the 32nd Bulgarian Antarctic Expedition, transported the group from the BAB, located on Livingston Island. Within two hours the group was engaged in field work.
Fireworks were set off in the evening on board the Bulgarian naval research vessel Sv. Sv. Kiril i Metodii (RSV 421) to celebrate the successful completion of the unloading of construction materials and provisions for BAB.

During the 32nd Bulgarian expedition to Antarctica, which started on November 8, 2023, the Bulgarian News Agency (BTA) is publishing video interviews with Antarctic researchers. Video journalist Emil Granicharov, Senior Editor at BTA, will document the work of the researchers in video diaries. BTA presents all scientific projects with videos, photos and texts prepared before the scientists' departure.
The Bulgaria-Antarctica BTA's Log again provides coverage of the voyage of the Sv. Sv. Kiril i Metodii to Antarctica and back and its stay there, as it did during the 31st expedition between December 27, 2022 and May 2, 2023. Back then, only BTA had a correspondent, Daily News Editor Konstantin Karagyozov, who covered the 127-day expedition with text, video and photos during the entire voyage (including across the Atlantic in both directions) and throughout the stay in Antarctica. In June 2023, BTA published in Bulgarian and in English an issue of its LIK magazine "To Antarctica and Back under the Bulgarian Flag" dedicated to the historic expedition.
All of BTA's information on the Bulgarian scientific research in Antarctica and the support provided by the Bulgarian naval research vessel, as well as on the other activities at the Bulgarian Antarctic Base, will be available to all media outlets in Bulgarian and in English on BTA's website in the Bulgaria - Antarctica: BTA's Log section.
BTA has a National Press Club on board the ship and is planning to open a National Press Club at the Bulgarian Antarctic Base on Livingston Island.
