http://icecube.wisc.edu IceCube Neutrino Observatory at the South Pole in Antarctica en-us http://www.nytimes.com/2009/06/25/us/25nielsen.html?_r=1&hpw Jerri Nielsen FitzGerald, a doctor who treated herself for breast cancer for months while stationed at the South Pole in 1999 and then when the weather thawed a bit was flown out in a daring rescue mission, died Tuesday at her home in Southwick, Mass. She was 57. The cause was breast cancer, which had recurred in 2005, her husband, Thomas, said. Dr. FitzGerald's ordeal was headline news in 1999. Known then as Dr. Nielsen, her name from...

When complete, IceCube will encompass a cubic kilometer of ice and uses a novel astronomical messenger, called a neutrino, to probe the universe. The IceCube detector is currently under construction at the South Pole, with IceTop, a square-kilometer array of particle detectors, installed directly above it. The colored dots represent... LiveScience.com 2009-06-19 http://artofmanliness.com/2009/06/18/so-you-want-my-job-antarctic-drillerresearcher/ Once again we return to our So You Want My Job series, in which we interview men who are employed in desirable man jobs and ask them about the reality of their work and for advice on how men can live their dream. Today we feature a man who took a job thousands of miles away from home, and the ordinary. Steve Faulkner spent 5 weeks at the bottom of the world, the South Pole, for one super cool science project. Steve did this interview awhile back, and though he's home now, he's surely missing the time when his best friends were penguins... Brett and Kate McKay 2009-06-18
