Interesting, huitz--my sister-in-law worked on the old AMANDA project, and I think is still active with Icecube. Ironically (?) we have a friend who works on a different big neutrino detection project-- down in the Soudan Mine.
The Ice Cube political arena is a bit strange. People come and go all the time. They made a solid infrastructure to make it viable, but many high end people drop like flies, move on to other projects; you get the idea. For them, it's all or nothing. I have faith in the south pole project, more out of curiosity than discovery.
From an ME standpoint, drilling holes with hot water is brilliant, but obviously has its pratfalls.
I'll ask around about the connection to Amanda.
I'm not sure I know anyone that works at Soudan.
