It was a busy week all around at the Pole.  The IceCube detector itself had a few issues for the winterovers to attend to, while the final week of the Polympics kept them busy as well.  The glory was IceCube’s in the 9-ball tournament, with Kathrin and Benjamin taking gold and silver in that event, respectively.  The skies had a lot going on last week, too.
