The Bulgarian naval research and survey vessel Sv. Sv. Kiril i Metodii (RSV 421) reached Livingston Island in the South Shetlands.
The Sv. Sv. Kiri i Metodii brought part of the third group of Bulgaria's 32nd National Antarctic Expedition, who disembarked at the St Kliment Ohridski Bulgarian Base after the ship cast anchor in the Emona Anchorage of the island's South Bay.
Shortly after that, RSV 421 proceeded to Deception Island to transport victuals and building materials for the Spanish Gabriel de Castilla Polar Base there.
After an overnight stay there, the Bulgarian ship will return to the Emona Anchorage and will be docked for the remainder of the expedition.
The third group of participants in the expedition left Sofia on January 7. The next group, including the expedition leader, Prof. Christo Pimpirev, and another five explorers, will leave on January 26.

During the 32nd Bulgarian expedition to Antarctica, which started on November 8, 2023, the Bulgarian News Agency (BTA) is publishing interviews with Antarctic researchers. 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.
