Join the "Cool Connections" event and visit Antarctica virtually. Antarctica is 17,000 km
from Brussels. To travel this distance by airplane would result in a carbon footprint of 3000 kg of CO2 emissions.

The highlight of the "Making it Possible" campaign, ETNO's "Cool Connections" event in Brussels on 9 December will feature a live link to the Princess Elisabeth Antarctica, the world's first zero emission research station.

The event will give attendees the chance to interact with the International Polar Foundation's team in Antarctica, and showcase the remarkable communications links enabled by the telecommunications industry.

Be sure to let us know what you would want to ask the team!
