South pole science
Antarctica is like nowhere else on Earth, and its extreme conditions make it the perfect lab for some pretty cool physics.
1. Ice, Ocean, Atmosphere and Climate
Why the South Pole is a great place to study our planet's climate.
2. South Pole Telescope
The South Pole telescope (or SPT) is designed to study the Cosmic Microwave background. This telescope provides astronomers with a powerful new tool to explore dark energy, the mysterious phenomena that may be causing the universe to accelerate.
3. IceCube neutrino observatory
IceCube, a telescope under construction at the South Pole, will search for neutrinos from the most violent astrophysical sources: events like exploding stars, gamma ray bursts, and cataclysmic phenomena involving black holes and neutron stars.
4. ANSMET - The Antarctic Search for Meteorites
This site describes the work of ANSMET in searching and collecting meteorites in the Antarctic. The design is a bit outdated but the content is great, particularly the FAQs.
