Buried under more than two kilometres of ice in Antarctica is an observatory unlike any other in the world.
It’s called the Icecube Neutrino Observatory – and no, it’s not measuring melting icecaps or numbers of Antarctic wildlife.
In fact, this observatory is making major discoveries about celestial bodies and space objects in our solar system and far beyond that.
