The expedition ended on March 5, and the polar explorers were transported by RSV 421. From there, they continued with regular flights of civil aircraft to Bulgaria.

RSV 421 has now reached the Argentine port of Mar del Plata, from where, after a short stop for refuelling and restocking, it will continue its voyage to Bulgaria, expected to arrive in Varna at the end of April.
