Details

This building houses both the South Pole Telescope and the BICEP telescope. The South Pole Telescope is the large dish (10 meters across) on the left side. The BICEP detector is much smaller, and will be mounted in the roof of the right hand side. Eventually, three more BICEP telescopes will be mounted in another building next door. At the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station, Antarctica.
