This is quite a bit different from the mostly liquid water...observatories? Doesn't seem like the correct term. The idea is the same: Neutrinos that have been sent from space, namely the sun, will pass right through most surfaces, but the few that ricochet off the ice can be measured by large light detectors that are strung together in that cable. These holes in the ground are in Antarctica, hardly the most hospitable place, but at least the ice isn't going anywhere until global warming kicks in.
although on that note, fun fact: the ice caps melting lets the freshwater into the sea, messes with currents, and somewhere along the way, supposedly, this alter the weather to actually start cooling everything. Invest in a company that makes Parkas.
