Bad weather has never looked so good. A bright moon and red exterior lighting coupled with very low visibility last week created a rather ethereal scene at the South Pole. But the downside was that the poor visibility forced IceCube’s winterovers to postpone an open house that had been planned at the IceCube Lab. Even though they do regular emergency response training at the Pole for all sorts of scenarios, they don’t want to ignore situations that could prompt a response—it’s always safety first. Also last week, a storytelling event was held at the station featuring eight unique stories. They made their space inviting for this event, with low lighting and a floral arrangement, the kind that doesn’t need water.
