The South Pole Telescope (SPT) is a 10-metre (390 in) diameter telescope located at the Amundsen–Scott South Pole Station, Antarctica.The telescope is designed for observations in the microwave, millimeter-wave, and submillimeter-wave regions of the electromagnetic spectrum, with the particular design goal of measuring the faint, diffuse emission from the cosmic microwave background (CMB).

From the 1990s on, astrophysical research conducted at the South Pole took advantage of its favorable atmospheric conditions and began to produce important scientific results. Such experiments include the Python, Viper, and DASI telescopes, as well as the 390-inch (10 m) South Pole Telescope.
South Pole telescope during polar night. The green light is the southern lights. During winter (May through August), the South Pole receives no sunlight at all, and is completely dark apart from moonlight. In summer (October through February), the sun is continuously above the horizon and appears to move in a counter-clockwise circle.
Amundsen–Scott South Pole Station: 26–36 GHz 13-element interferometer measuring anisotropies in the cosmic microwave background. [8] South Pole Telescope (SPT) Amundsen–Scott South Pole Station: 95–350 GHz 10-m microwave telescope making observations of clusters using the Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect. [9]
The IceCube Neutrino Observatory (or simply IceCube) is a neutrino observatory developed by the University of Wisconsin–Madison and constructed at the Amundsen–Scott South Pole Station in Antarctica. [1] The project is a recognized CERN experiment (RE10).
Immediately next to the BICEP telescope at the Martin A. Pomerantz Observatory building at the South Pole was an unused telescope mount previously occupied by the Degree Angular Scale Interferometer. [28] The Keck Array was built to take advantage of this larger telescope mount.

In 2012, the Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT) performed the first statistical detection of the kinematic SZ effect. [10] In 2012 the kinematic SZ effect was detected in an individual object for the first time in MACS J0717.5+3745. [11] As of 2015, the South Pole Telescope (SPT) had used the Sunyaev–Zeldovich effect to discover 415 galaxy ...
