Located near the U.S. Amundsen-Scott Research Station at the geographic South Pole, Ice Cube is unlike most telescopes in that it is not designed to detect light.

It employs a cubic kilometer of diamond-clear ice, more than a mile beneath the surface, to detect an elementary particle known as the neutrino.

In 2010, it detected the first extraterrestrial high-energy neutrinos & thus gave birth to a new field of astronomy.

Ice Cube is also the largest particle physics detector ever built.

The Telescope in the Ice is, ultimately, a book about people & the thrill of the chase: the struggle to understand the neutrino & the pioneers & inventors of neutrino astronomy.

Not until Josslyn Hay, Earl of Erroll, was shot dead at the wheel of his Buick in the early hours of 24 January 1941. Some said the good-looking womaniser had it coming. He was a philanderer who could have had any number of enemies who wanted revenge. Ageing Jock Delves Broughton stood trial for Erroll's murder but was acquitted & the mystery remained unsolved
