Practically Home
The opportunity to recover his collection of chamber music that he left in Antarctica in the 1950s never never presented itself, despite 15 trips to the Ice over six different decades, a total of 18 field seasons. Now, at age 78, Charles Bentley is back in Antarctica, the principal investigator with Ice Core Drilling Services (ICDS) from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

 Halfway Done
Construction of the world's largest, and perhaps most unique, telescope is 50 percent complete. Drillers deployed the 18th string of digital sensors for the IceCube Neutrino Observatory array on Jan. 25, 2008. That means there are now 40 strings of digital optical modules buried up to 2,500 meters into the ice around the South Pole.
