What’s so funny? Who knows, but a few IceCube folks shared a good laugh out on the ice before leaving the South Pole last week. There were quite a few departures, as the summer season is winding down. There was also a sizeable incoming group—various flight issues had delayed their arrival to the Pole until now. About 15 new winterovers showed up, the last batch before station closing. The winds have been active, leaving substantial snow drifts across the previously cleared areas around the IceCube towers where the Upgrade teams had been working.
