"Café con hielo" is a series of dissemination talks cover current issues on polar science. The activity comes from the collaboration between the platform POLARCSIC (from the Spanish National Research Council) and APECS-Spain, with the aim of approaching polar science to the general public.

The series include 6 sessions, all of them during Spring 2021. In each session, two scientists give a flash talk about different perspectives of the session topic and afterwards, there is an open round table, conducted by a chair related to the topic. The idea is to promote the participation of the audience with questions and comments to create a conversation among all the participants.

The activities were broadcasted live and can be accessed at POLARCSIC Youtube Channel.
