Two curators of the Natural History Museum in Plovdiv started their journey to Antarctica as part of the 33rd Bulgarian Antarctic expedition. The purpose of the trip of Kristiyan Vladov and Stefan Kyurkchiev is to enrich the museum's collections, as well as future research on the unique adaptation mechanisms of Antarctic organisms in controlled conditions.
