Breaking the ice - Deep within Antarctica's inhospitable ice, engineers aim to build an observatory to detect neutrinos, or high-energy particles that could explain many of the universe's secrets such as black holes

摘要

An icy world of whiteouts, bone-chilling cold and eight-month winters of permanent darkness. But it is here at the South Pole, the most inhospitable place on the planet, that a group of scientists and engineers from over 20 institutions in seven different countries will next month begin work on one of the world's largest, strangest and most inaccessible scientific instruments.
