Live from Antarctica, connection with the Concordia Base November 27 at 08,30 UTC

The audience will have the opportunity to make a “Live” visit to the Concordia Base in Antarctica, to interact with the logistic and scientific staff of the 2020/2021 summer campaign and get to know the Chief of the 36th Italian Scientific Expedition.

It is managed by two countries, Italy and France, through their respective Antarctic National Programs.

During the Live connection, the public will learn about all the activities that are carried out in such an inhospitable place and understand Italy’s contribution to research in Antarctica.

There was an radio interview by the German broadcast station Bayern 1 with her at Oct.29, 2020.

She also did write a book “Südlich vom Ende der Welt“ (South from the end of the world) about her impressions on the icy continent.
