There was lots of activity last week at the Pole for IceCube’s winterovers. One of the highlights was an ERT mulitple casualty incident drill, which involved participation from the whole station. IceCube winterover Conor is seen responding alongside another winterover to assist a critically injured “patient,” while Kalvin’s role involved acting as a patient, in this case one with a broken ankle. Last week the winterovers also had some work out at the IceCube Lab as well as greenhouse harvesting tasks. They both participated in outreach for the IceCube Masterclass through a scheduled webcast with collaborating instiutions in Germany. Meanwhile, the prolonged sunset continued to provide captivating skies.
