The Bulgarian scientific research ship Saints Cyril and Methodius is to set sail from Varna for Antarctica in the first days of November to take part in the 32nd national Polar expedition on the icy continent.
Forty-five days later the ship will reach the Bulgarian base St. Kliment Ohridski on Livingston Island. Before entering the Drake Passage, the ship will stop at Ushuaia, Argentina, the world’s Southernmost city in Tierra del Fuego, where a navigator will come on board to help the ship through the stormy waters.
