1) We coded from Antarctica.

Yes, In 2012, a group of Globers went to develop code from the southernmost continent of the Earth. Ignacio Saslavsky (Rosario), Natalia Imhoff (Córdoba), Bárbara Meclazcke (Tandil), Mariano Salvetti (Buenos Aires) and Lautaro Sosa (Córdoba) formed the team of Argentinian Globers chosen for this great adventure.

3) The first company to develop for Google outside the Googleplex.
