ANTARSUP-23 is the name of the second expedition of the Bulgarian military scientific research ship "Sts.Cyril and Methodius" because of its main mission to support scientific research on the continent.

The first Bulgarian Polar researchers for the season will set sail for Livingston Island at the beginning of November

During Antarctic Support expedition, the scientists will work on ten scientific projects, they will test new scientific research opportunities using ship-supplied microscopes and oceanographic samplers, and continue the construction of a new scientific laboratory block at the Bulgarian Antarctic base "St. Kliment Ohridski" on Livingston Island.

The voyage to Antarctica and the stay of the ship in the area of the Bulgarian Antarctic base will last about five months - from the beginning of November this year until the beginning of April 2024, announced the commander of St.St. Cyril and Methodius ship, Captain Nikolay Danailov. He called on Bulgarian scientists to have bolder projects, because thanks to the scientific research ship, Bulgaria is no longer just an "island country" on Antarctica.
