- Reason
- Quality lead image of IceCube Neutrino Observatory. The observatory is located less than a mile from the exact South Pole. It has been operational since 2010. The observatory detects cosmic neutrinos using an array of 5,160 under ice sensors. Its aim is to produce a map of cosmic neutrino emissions, primarily of the northern hemisphere. A similar future observatory, the KM3NeT, is planned for detecting neutrinos of the southern hemisphere.

- Comment Great EV, but I think there are some blownout highlights—the right edges of the cylindrical towers and some patches of snow being an example. 〜 Festucalex • talk 04:44, 29 June 2023 (UTC)
- I'm inclined to think that a building with white parts in perma-snow in sunlight is going to necessarily on the bright side. Given dawn/dusk comes for, at best, a few days a year, and given the extremely-difficult-to-reach geographic location, Support. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 8.5% of all FPs. 15:45, 2 July 2023 (UTC)
- Support Not really blown, the values are 240-255. In fact, very few pixels are 255. High EV, and prominently in the news just recently. --Janke | Talk 17:55, 30 June 2023 (UTC)
- Seems like there is some perspective distortion. MER-C 09:49, 2 July 2023 (UTC)
- It's small, not a disqualifier IMO, not worth reprocessing the image. Bammesk (talk) 13:10, 2 July 2023 (UTC)
