Last week, two of three large cargo crates holding new servers and other equipment were delivered to the IceCube Lab, or ICL. Extra hands helped with opening and unloading of all the temperature-sensitive equipment. The team below was all smiles as they got ready for the job. The station waited for the weekend to hold their special Thanksgiving meal, with formal tableware and fancy hors d’ouevres, whose description cards display historic Antarctic events. Another happy group stopped for a photo on their way to the dinner.
