Meet scientists and engineers at the South Pole who are hard at work drilling holes in the ice for a unique telescope called Ice Cube. When completed, this telescope will take up a .6 miles (1 cubic kilometer) of the ice sheet and consist of dozens of strings, each containing 60 detectors suspended in crystal-clear ice more than 4,900 feet (1500 meters) below the surface.
