Buried under more than 2 kilometres of ice in Antarctica is an observatory unlike any other in the world.

It’s called the Icecube Neutrino Observatory – and no, it’s not measuring melting icecaps or numbers of Antarctic wildlife.

In fact, this observatory is making major discoveries about celestial bodies and space objects in our solar system and far beyond that.

Dr Sophie Calabretto talks to Cosmos Magazine journalist Jacinta Bowler about what makes the Icecube Neutrino Observatory so unique, what it’s looking for and what space discoveries are on the horizon.
