28 very high energy events, published in Science (November 2013)
This album contains images and videos of the first high-energy neutrino flux ever observed. Flavors, directions, and energies of these neutrinos have been found to be incompatible with those expected from the atmospheric muon and neutrino backgrounds and consistent with generic predictions for an additional component of extraterrestrial origin.

Neutrino Events
A compilation of some cool and unique neutrino events captured by the IceCube Neutrino Observatory. […]
Drilling and Deployment
After years of drilling holes and deploying DOMs, the IceCube detector was finished on December 18, 2010. See the process here. […]
Digital Optical Module (DOM) Development
Diagrams
See the IceCube detector, string configuration by season, the anatomy of a digital optical module (DOM), and a list of all of the DOMs’ names. […]
Chronology
IceCube has roots in Antarctica dating back to the early 1990s. This album shows the progression of the project from AMANDA to completion of IceCube construction, with a few milestones in between. […]
Antarctic Animals
Antarctica — home to ice, penguins, researchers, and…what else is there? See a few of the animals that call Antarctica home. […]
