First there’s work, then there’s play. Last week at the Pole, IceCube’s winterovers were paged during the night (twice!) and had to trek out to the IceCube Lab for some troubleshooting. Unfortunately, no night sky photos were taken on these trips. But in their spare time, planning continued for this year’s Antarctic Games. The team events include CrossFit, a tetrathlon, an art challenge, a dance challenge, and an e-sport competition. Excitement builds. Decorations are part of the occasion, with pennants designed by winterover Celas all ready and hung from the gym’s ceiling.
