The sky at the South Pole continues to brighten up before official sunrise—lately to the point where headlamps are no longer needed to see while walking outside. The moon can help brighten things up even more on some days. IceCube winterover Ilya was out with his camera last week, taking some nice photos of the South Pole Telescope, the snowed-in IceCube Upgrade drill camp, and the IceCube Lab from a distance. It was a quiet week. They may as well enjoy it while it lasts, as the sun and summer activity will be there soon enough.
