The first group of Spanish scientists and logisticians has left the Bulgarian naval research vessel Sv. Sv. Kiril i Metodii (RSV 421) and headed to Juan Carlos I Spanish Antarctic Base of Livingston Island. The Spanish Antarctic scientists worked on their research activities together with the Bulgarian crew on board the ship.
Before the departure of the scientists, RSV 421 entered the South Bay of the Livingston Island. The Bulgarian ship returned from a brief visit to the Argentinean Carlini research station on King George Island.
The Bulgarian ship continued its voyage to the Deception Island, where the Spanish Gabriel de Castilla Polar Base is located, to leave the second group of the Spanish research team.
Earlier this year, RSV 421 made a voyage to Deception Island to unload provisions and construction materials for the Spanish polar base.

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.
Again, 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.
