alt Hacker NewsI'm in love with the cute little figure that came with the press release: https://www.nobelprize.org/uploads/2026/10/fig_fy_26_3x2.jpg
I appreciate the boldness of this project, it has an element of sci-fi to it. Building a base at the south pole to bury sensors in ice to measure elusive particles. The stuff of dreams!

A trillion of these silly small guys pass through us every second. Funny to imagine them like that.

To be fair, the base was already there and logistically essential. The IceCube topside building is just a part of the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station, about a km or so from the Elevated Station.

The same guy (Johan Jarnestad) has been doing all the nobel prize illustrations and infographics for years!
