DM-Ice is currently in the design phase, operating two detectors for development purposes in the ice at the South Pole. DM-Ice detects dark matter particles in an effort to understand the nature of this elusive matter.
The Askaryan Radio Array (ARA) is under construction at the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station and is designed to look for neutrinos produced when cosmic rays interact with the cosmic microwave background radiation.
The High-Altitude Water Cherenkov (HAWC) experiment is located on the flanks of the Sierra Negra volcano near Puebla, Mexico. At an altitude of 4100 meters, HAWC performs a high-sensitivity synoptic survey of the sky at energies between 100 GeV and 100 TeV.

IceCube is the world's largest neutrino detector, encompassing a cubic kilometer of ice at the South Pole. The construction of the neutrino observatory lasted seven seasons, completed on December 18, 2010.
