Synergy between Art and Science: Collaboration at the South Pole

We present the result of a cross-disciplinary collaboration between Prof. Donald Fortescue of the California College of the Arts in San Francisco and the Dr. Gwenhael de Wasseige of the IceCube Collaboration. The work presented was initiated during Fortescue's US National Science Foundation fun...
