IceCube’s winterovers just sat down to take in the view after finishing up some outdoor IceAct snow accumulation measurements.  It was a view worth sitting down for.  But for a relatively quiet week at the Pole, they still found themselves with plenty to do, including rescue team training and cooking club.  Outside there was an astronomy class focused on stargazing, pointing out prominent features of the southern sky.
