It’s getting close to midwinter, when people in Antarctica, and other places, celebrate the southern winter solstice. In anticipation, South Pole station personnel took some group photos (above is one of them) to use as midwinter greeting cards, traditionally shared with other Antarctic stations. Last week at the Pole, IceCube’s winterovers spent a lot of time at the IceCube Lab, performing some RAM testing, where Marc took a photo of their indoor surroundings. Outdoors, Marc was balloon launching (still) last week, where he got a photo of the balloon launch as well as one of a laser shooting straight up into the sky behind the cryo building.
