Nuclear physicist Vasil Gurev fell into a deep ice crevasse during geophysical scientific research on the Contell Glacier in Antarctica, near the Bulgarian Antarctic base "St. Kliment Ohridski". Thanks to the adherence to safety protocols while operating outside the base in an alpine rope team, his partner, field assistant Alexander Valchev, managed to hold him at a depth of two meters and pull him back to the surface, said Professor Christo Pimpirev, head of Bulgarian Antarctic expeditions and Chairman of the Bulgarian Antarctic Institute, reported BTA.
''The accident ended safely and showed the utmost importance of observing safety rules and the professionalism of the teams. Geophysical research on the Contell Glacier continues without interruption", Professor Pimpirev added.
