CENTENARY OF THE CONQUEST OF THE SOUTH POLE(14/12/2011)

Centenary of the Conquest of the South Pole

On the occasion of the centenary of the conquest of the South Pole by Roald Amundsen, and at the initiative of H.S.H. Prince Albert II, Venturi Automobiles is organizing a conference on the Antarctic in partnership with the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation.
A land of science, the Antarctic is a multidisciplinary laboratory consisting of an entire continent : its understanding is vital in the approach to environmental issues now preoccupying all mankind. A continent which offers the world of research a universe both fascinating and hostile. For over a century, and in order to shoulder these challenges, the Antarctic has also been a land of multidisciplinary innovations. More than ever before, these innovations must be embodied in tools backed by neutral technological solutions for this very special environment.

It is also the occasion for Venturi to present its Program "ANTARCTICA" which consists on the development of a zero emission vehicle capable of working under the Antarctic extreme conditions.
