The Bulgarian National Radio (BNR) has found a natural way to be present in Antarctica through the work of journalist Marina Velikova, said BNR Director General Milen Mitev at the opening of the photo exhibition Antarctic Echo on Monday in front of the public broadcaster’s building.

Mitev said he was pleased that, through Velikova, National Radio had “set foot in Antarctica”, noting that for three consecutive years she has taken part in Antarctic expeditions, recording sounds while also producing photographs, visuals and visual narratives.

He pointed out that although radio is traditionally associated with sound, modern media increasingly combine different forms of storytelling. Mitev linked the exhibition’s theme to the human drive for exploration and the expansion of known boundaries.

The Antarctic Echo exhibition presents photographs taken during three Bulgarian Antarctic expeditions. It will remain on display in front of the BNR building until July 7.
