The Bulgarian Antarctic base "St. Kliment Ohridski" has been opened for the new polar research season with a 20-day delay. Chilean warship Galvarino managed to bring the 15 Bulgarian polar explorers with 10 tons of construction materials and provisions to the shores of Livingston Island. In previous days this was impossible because of hurricane winds, huge waves and ice blocks in the bay.

Despite the twenty-day delay, we hope that the planned construction activities and scientific program will be successfully implemented, head of the expedition Prof. Hristo Pimpirev wrote in Facebook.
