On February 9, 2024, the Bulgarian News Agency (BTA) opened a national press club at the Bulgarian Antarctic base on Livingston Island. Attending the event were BTA Director General Kiril Valchev, Bulgarian Ambassador to Argentina Stoyan Mihaylov, the leader of the 32nd Bulgarian Antarctic Expedition, Prof. Christo Pimpirev, and the head of the Nikola Vaptsarov Naval Academy in Varna (on the Black Sea), Flotilla Admiral Boyan Mednikarov. 

The press club provides a comfortable workspace for the media on Livingston Island. All Bulgarian and foreign journalists visiting the Bulgarian Antarctic base will be able to work and do interviews and news briefings with Bulgarian and foreign researchers in a warm room with tables and benches. 

The national press club of Bulgaria’s news agency at the Bulgarian Antarctic base is yet another sign of the serious Bulgarian presence in Antarctica, where the world’s most advanced nations are represented, said the BTA Director General.
