Last week at the Pole there was a mix of activities. First up was a short visit from a small group of NSF personnel and Congressional staffers. They arrived on a small plane and spent several hours at the Pole—with a tour of the B2 science lab, several presentations, and some outdoor photo ops—before heading back on the same plane. The station also enjoyed a Thanksgiving dinner (a round of applause was given to the kitchen staff), and work continued outside at the IceCube Upgrade drill camp.
