THE ATLANTIC OCEAN, 29.01.2023
The Bulgarian military research vessel Sv. Sv. Kiril i Metodii (NAVAL RSV 421) circumnavigated Cape Sao Tome, the easternmost point of the Brazilian state of Rio de Janeiro, and set on direct course to Mar del Plata on its way to the St. Kliment Ohridski Bulgarian Antarctic base on Livingston Island.
Mar del Plata is the second intermediate stop on RSV 421's route to the Antarctic. There, the vessel will be boarded by scientists and logisticians from the Bulgarian Antarctic Institute.
The ship's cargo - food supplies, cement, building foundations, water treatment equipment - will support the polar mission.
