Prof. Miroslav Tsvetkov from the Naval Academy of Varna. The other part of the group will travel to Punta Arenas in Chile.

The two groups are expected to reunite on King George Island in Antarctica, from where they will continue aboard the Bulgarian research vessel Sv. Sv. Kiril i Metodii (RSV 421) to Bulgaria’s St Kliment Ohridski Base on Livingston Island.
Following the opening of the Bulgarian Antarctic base on Livingston Island in mid-November, the main fieldwork of the 34th expedition began. In the area of South Bay on Livingston Island, an international team of scientists, assisted by the expedition’s logistics team, is collecting samples for several research projects.
RSV 421 departed for Antarctica from Varna on November 7. The ship arrived at the Argentine naval base in the city of Mar del Plata on December 13, 2025, after a month-long voyage across the Atlantic Ocean.
“During the current expedition, we will also set foot on the Antarctic Peninsula,” Pimpirev said in Varna during the send-off of the vessel.
