There’s a lot of snow around at the South Pole for a place that’s classified as a desert. That’s because it is carried in from strong winds that blow across the continent. And the blowing snow accumulates around the station and all the structures located at the Pole, including the IceCube Upgrade storage containers as well as the IceCube Lab, appearing in the serene image at the bottom. Last week was quiet at the South Pole. Quiet weeks are great for taking on complicated board games, popular with many of the winterovers. Last week it was Frosthaven.
