It doesn’t snow much at the South Pole but there is lots of snow that accumulates there, and sometimes it needs to be moved.  Such was the case last week, when a digging crew was put to the task of removing old field equipment from another South Pole experiment, ARIANNA, a proof of concept for detecting high-energy neutrinos via radio waves.  IceCube winterovers Martin and Josh helped out.  After digging out their holes, the crew took a great “hands-in-the-air” shot with smiles all around.  Those are deep holes they dug!  Returning to the station, Martin rode along on the couch pulled behind on the sled—the scenic ride back.
