The participants at the 32nd Bulgarian expedition to Antarctica Doychin Boyanov, Kalin Naydenov, Kiril Doskov and Marcho Paunov have discovered aircraft parts on Livingstone Island. This happened during the collection of geological samples in False Bay and Barnard Point, reports BTA. The fragments were taken aboard the Bulgarian research vessel St. St. Cyril and Methodius (RSV 421) together with the geological samples.
The wreckage is believed to belong to a Chilean military transport aircraft C-130 Hercules, which disappeared in the area of Drake Passage during a flight from Punta Arenas to King George Island in 2019. RSV 421 has contacted the Antarctic air command of the Chilean Air Force. The aircraft parts will be handed over to the Chilean military base at King George Island when the Bulgarian ship arrives in Maxwell Bay on January 31.
