Last week was mostly quiet again at the South Pole. The snow drifts continue to grow, as clearly seen in front of the IceCube Lab, above. From farther away, we see the snowed-in IceCube Upgrade hose reel and storage containers, under a bright moon (not sun!) through overcast skies. The activity for last week came in the form of some maintenance tasks for IceCube’s winterovers and some emergency response team training, which involved extracting a “victim” with a leg injury from the tight space under a subfloor.
