Manuel Burgos
Manuel Burgos is a retired Rear Admiral from the Uruguayan Navy who served as the president of the Antarctic Institute of Uruguay (IAU) from March 2019 until he was succeeded by Contralmirante Núñez. His leadership at the IAU is notable as he held the position without receiving a salary, adhering to a tradition that the presidency should be held by an active-duty military officer. Burgos's term followed a period when the institute's regulations were amended to allow retired officers to take on the role. His contributions to the IAU reflect his commitment to scientific research in Antarctica and the promotion of Uruguay's interests in the region.
