Students from several Turkish schools are expected to visit the Bulgarian research vessel Sv. Sv. Kiril i Metodii (RSV 421) in Antalya on Monday.
The vessel is currently docked at the port of Antalya, where it is participating in activities related to the UN Climate Change Conference (COP31). It is scheduled to remain in the Turkish city until November 12, before continuing its voyage to Antarctica.
During the visit, the crew will introduce the students to the vessel’s role in Bulgarian Antarctic expeditions and the cooperation between the Bulgarian and Turkish polar research programmes. RSV 421 transports cargo in support of the Turkish polar programme, contributing to scientific research on Horseshoe Island, home to the Turkish Antarctic Research Station.
The students will also have the opportunity to visit a photo exhibition on board, featuring images taken by participants in Bulgarian Antarctic expeditions.
The research vessel departed from Varna on November 4, beginning its fifth voyage to Antarctica as part of the 35th Bulgarian Antarctic Expedition. A formal military send-off ceremony was held at the Varna Marine Terminal. The vessel is heading south to support the latest Bulgarian polar expedition and scientific research at the Bulgarian Antarctic base St. Kliment Ohridski on Livingston Island. According to the Naval Academy in Varna, the mission of RSV 421 is vital to strengthening Bulgaria’s presence in Antarctica, advancing scientific research and establishing the country as an active participant in international Antarctic cooperation.
A national press club of the Bulgarian News Agency (BTA) has been operating on board RSV 421 since 2022. Representatives of the media are also taking part in its fifth expedition. They are reporter Simona-Alex Mihaleva and photojournalist Milena Stoykova, who will remain on board Sv. Sv. Kiril i Metodii until the vessel reaches Antalya.
