Ice detection assembly (100) designed for installation on an aircraft,
comprising a vibrating finger (110) and a mast (120), the vibrating
finger (110) extending into the air from the mast (120) and capable
of being vibrated by vibration means at a resonant frequency that is sensitive
to an ice deposit on its surface, characterised in that it comprises a cooling
system capable of cooling at least part of the detection assembly (100).
