The first plane of the season arrives Monday, Oct. 27, at the National Science Foundation's Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station, where winter just came to a close. The South Pole Station is the site of the IceCube experiment, which detects high-energy neutrinos. Photo by Heidi Lim.
IceCube is a vast neutrino detection experiment that uses Antarctic ice as part of the detector. Read more about it in a feature in symmetry, and get more information here.
