Answer:
Ice is very useful for experiments. Since Antarctica has so much ice and it costs nothing to maintain it it would seem ideal. The experiments are really classified in two ways: either the scientists want to look at what is in the ice itself (e.g. carbon dioxide content of ice cores) or they want to use the ice as a medium for experiments, most of which are related to cosmic radiation. Select few particles muon are produced on Earth only when neutrinos collide under the ice.
