DIRECTION SOUTH - trip to Antarctica

This book traces the journey of the Bulgarian polar explorers, through Argentina and Chile, Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego, the Strait of Magellan and the Drake Passage, to Livingston Island, where the Bulgarian Antarctic Base “St. Kliment Ohridski”, is located.

Data about the geographical location of the described sites interweave with historical facts relating the voyages to the Icy Continent, immersing the reader completely into the atmosphere of such a journey.
The places, people and events described in the book are true to fact and comprise a compilation of seven consecutive trips to Antarctica.

The almanac has the purpose to collect and make available most of the currently known maps describing Antarctica - from antiquity until today. It also shows modern maps of the Icy continent, including topographical, geological, satellite images, maps of the ice surface and under ice surface of the continent, maps of various research bases, etc. Of course, special attention is devoted to the Bulgarian contribution to the mapping of Antarctica. The maps are divided into several periods reflecting their historical development.
The aim of this work is to promote the importance of maps and Geo-information and cartography worldwide and the development of cartographic methods for visualization of the surrounding world corresponding to the needs of society in a global and regional context.
By tracing the history of the last still virgin continent, least affected by human activity, an effort has been made to draw public attention to its preservation and future operation, which is a sort of appeal for the preservation of its unique flora and fauna
