The first auroras of the season are in! This is always such an exciting time, not only for those folks lucky enough to be at the Pole but also for those of us who only get the long-distance armchair experience. In IceCube winterover Martin’s selfie below, it almost looks as though he is somehow creating the auroras with his arm movements. But maybe he’s exercising, as both he and Josh were involved in “Healthy April,” where they earned points for things like weightlifting and running. Special treat: last image shows an inside look at Josh’s living quarters at the South Pole station—small maybe, but complete with all basic creature comforts and individualized with personal decor.
