in the scott amundsen station at the south pole jaco from santa is not feeling at home he can reach the ice cube on foot. to. come up to hell if there is not a full day for almost no wind summer temperatures of minus 30 degrees celsius glorious sunshine. sure the station is about 500 meters behind me and in front of me it's only about 500 meters to the ice cube laboratory we have since i'm going there now to see how our detector is doing it. too steve these rods and flags are the only parts of the ice cube you can see on the surface most of the detector lies one and a half kilometers beneath my feet of. ice cube is a superb neutrino detector a gigantic high tech ice cube. buried 2 and a half kilometers deep in the it turned all iosif the south pole. it's dark down there and diocese extremely pure. light is able to travel through ice cube without much scattering. the eye is of the telescope watch for the tiniest flashes of light 5200 photos senses register the weak lights of the particle traces which can travel many hundreds of meters through the ice. and. when light signals are discover

from the moment they arrive it takes a few days to a climatologist for the researchers the new amundsen scott south pole station is no assists in the middle of the ice deserts it guarantees their survival. the station can accommodate several 100 people everything here is simple and practical. but scott and amundsen who were the 1st to reach the south pole more than a 100 years ago would be astonished by the comfort and technology. this is an astrophysics hot spot deep in the attorney the researchers are discovering cosmic light signals. ice cube are searching for neutrinos that have flown through the earth ones that enter the northern hemisphere. ones that end of the southern hemisphere and look for in the mediterranean for only neutrinos can fly through the earth. to k.m.'s 3 detector will also search for patrick. that have traveled through the earth since the mediterranean is more than 5000 meters deep katon here on the east coast of sicily is no ideal spot for research station. a team of european scientists is here to install the 1st section of the detector on the seabed. physicists of ada
