Bulgaria’s research vessel sails off from Antarctica

The research vessel “Sts. Cyril and Methodius” has lifted anchor from Livingston Island. The Commander of the Bulgarian Antarctic Base “St. Kliment Ohridski”, Kamen Nedkov, wished a successful voyage to the Commander of the ship, Capt. Radko Muevski, and thanked him for his cooperation in logistical and scientific activities during the 34th Bulgarian Antarctic Expedition. Capt. Muevski wished a successful end to the season at the base.

After a group of scientists and logisticians boarded the ship, it started its long journey home. After passing the turbulent Drake Passage, the ship will stop in Comodoro Rivadavia where it will be welcomed by the Bulgarian community in Argentina.

More scientific projects are expected to be implemented at the Bulgarian Antarctic base next month, including joint projects with Portuguese scientists.
