The two experiments I'm talking about are are named the Askaryan Radio Array (ARA) and the Radio Neutrino Observatory - Greenland (RNO-G).

Basically we're looking for really energetic neutrinos by burying radio antennas (and readout electronics) in the ice. If a really energetic neutrino interacts in the ice, it will produce a particle shower, which, at really high energies (like > 10-100 PeV) will produce detectable radio emission. Since there is lots of ice both in Antarctica and in Greenland, we have detectors in both places.

Looks like they are related to being an Experimental Particle Astrophysicist. But, Yes! I'd like to hear more. Once I looked at applying to work in Antarctica but life hasn't taken me in that direction. It is still a weird backup type idea I keep in the back of my mind.
