Main Sponsor

COMPAQ - all ready to go again!

"South Through The Pole 1997-98" has a loyal partner which has supported all of our expeditions since 1994.

Compaq is the world's largest manufacturer of PCs and network servers. Compaq can identify in a unique manner with the ambitions of our expedition. The company is barely 15 years old, and no-one thought it possible that a small manufacturer of PCs would ever grow to be ranked 5th in the computer industry. And it doesn't intend to stay there, either, because Compaq is looking to be in the Top 3 by the year 2000.

The objectives of our polar expeditions have often seemed to be just as unattainable. In 1994, we set off for the North Pole, and a year later for Greenland. Both were journeys of exploration with apparently insurmountable obstacles. On both occasions, Compaq was with us in the form of a notebook computer into which we were able to enter our observations at any time, or even send data via a satellite link.

A Compaq Armada notebook will be going on "South Through The Pole 1997-98". This portable PC which is built to withstand the toughest of conditions. And Compaq is also providing the financial support which makes this expedition possible.

Compaq is also the principal sponsor of "The Last Continent". This impressive exhibition - which runs from October 1997 to February in the Brussels Jubelpark - pays homage to 100 years of Belgian presence at the poles, from Adrien de Gerlache de Gomery to "South Through The Pole 1997-98".
