Day 67: Final Loading, Unloading Activities Underway at Bulgarian Polar Base on Bulgaria's National Day

Final loading and unloading activities are underway at the Bulgarian polar base after RSV 421 returned to the South Bay of Livingston Island. At the same time, preparations are underway to winterize the base and leave until the start of the next Antarctic summer. Over the past three days, RSV 421 has taken on board four of the Bulgarian polar explorers, and a group of their Spanish counterparts from the two Spanish bases, the Juan Carlos I on Livingston Island and the Gabriel de Castilla on Deception Island, to take them to King George Island, where they will take flights to South America and then to Europe to return home.
