APEX, the Atacama Pathfinder Experiment, is operational on Llano de Chajnantor, on what is considered one of the world's best sites for submillimetre astronomy. With its large primary reflector of 12 m diameter, carefully adjusted to a surface smoothness of only 17-18 μm r.m.s, APEX will allow observations up to 200 μm, through all atmospheric submm windows accessible from the ground. Scientific opportunities to explore the ‘cold universe' are discussed, and first scientific results are presented.
