There's a weird overlap in engineering and physics disciplines between the hard engineering/business practices of the mining industry, and particle physics.

and another option is putting it in the sea, see KM3NeT: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KM3NeT
Right, but for those they need to make/move/collect a large amount of transparent material, like heavy water etc for the particles to interact with. But they get that 'for free' with the ice.
