Let the games begin! South Pole’s version of the Olympics—the “Polympics”—has several years under its belt by now. The opening ceremony to kick off this year’s event was held last week with much fanfare. Station participants were grouped into six “countries,” which were introduced with their own custom flags and national anthems. IceCube winterover Connor represented team Frangland, who won the first event of a heated game of dodgeball. Outside, the skies have been clear and starry, beckoning those who want to take advantage of the remaining days of night sky before the sun rises and spoils everything brightens things up.
