What are neutrinos? How do we detect them and study them? Why is there a giant detector at the South Pole, Antarctica? Join me on a tour through the IceCube Neutrino Observatory, located at the Amundsen-Scott South Pole station, and along the way I'll explain the basics of neutrinos, and follow a neutrino from its creation to its detection at IceCube. IceCube is supported by the National Science Foundation and the University of Wisconsin-Madison. 0:10 - 3D model of IceCube and the DOM array 0:45 - The Digital Optical Module (DOM) 1::37 - The DOM Array 2:01 - What are neutrinos? 3:02 - Where do neutrinos come from? 4:14 - How the observatory registers a “hit“ from a neutrino 5:13 Tour of the IceCube Laboratory Interview with the IceCube Scientists from winter 2021:
