The 2017 novel South Pole Station by Ashley Shelby is set at the Amundsen-Scott South Pole station of 2002-2003, prior to the opening of the new facility. The 2019 film Where'd You Go, Bernadette features the station prominently and includes scenes of its construction at the closing credits, although the actual station depicted in the film is ...
The United States maintains the southernmost base, Amundsen–Scott South Pole Station, and the largest base and research station in Antarctica, McMurdo Station. The second-southernmost base is the Chinese Kunlun Station at 80°25′2″S during the summer season, and the Russian Vostok Station at 78°27′50″S during the winter season.
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).

In general, virtually all equipment was located inside the support building and thus was protected from the harsh climate. The AST/RO building consumed an average of 24kW of power that was supplied by the powerplant at the station. [3] The telescope had an alt-azimuth mounting and a 1.7m primary reflector.
The highest temperature ever recorded at the Amundsen–Scott South Pole Station was −12.3 °C (9.9 °F) on Christmas Day, 2011, [36] and the lowest was −82.8 °C (−117.0 °F) on 23 June 1982 [37] [38] [39] (for comparison, the lowest temperature directly recorded anywhere on earth was −89.2 °C (−128.6 °F) at Vostok Station on 21 ...

Later in 2013 the number of detection increased to 37 candidates [41] including a new high energy neutrino at 2000-TeV given the name of "Big Bird". [ 42 ] IceCube measured 10–100 GeV atmospheric muon neutrino disappearance in 2014, using three years of data taken May 2011 to April 2014, including DeepCore, [ 24 ] determining neutrino ...
The Amundsen–Scott South Pole Station recorded its warmest average July temperature since 2002 at 6.3 °C (11.3 °F) above average, with an average temperature of −47.6 °C (−53.7 °F) from 20 to 30 July, meeting the average February Antarctic temperature at the typical end of summer.
