IceCube’s winterovers spent some time last week on troubleshooting activities at the IceCube Lab, but they didn’t get there in the vehicle above. No one is going anywhere quickly in that truck—a “little bit” of digging out might be required first. Winterover Celas snapped that photo along with the other images below while hiking out to the tourist camp. The sun is slowly making itself more apparent at the Pole, and more people at the station are venturing outdoors to enjoy these days of early sunlight.
