Week 17 at the Pole
IceCube’s winterovers were out at the IceCube Lab (ICL) for some troubleshooting last week, and they captured a few different views of the ICL in photographs. Above, the lingering light along the horizon still seems quite strong. Below, the stars are more apparent and there is a wisp of an aurora overhead. We get more than a wisp in the subsequent image, where the sky appears full of auroras. Winter night-sky-viewing is in full force. Most of the week was quiet, though, and the winterovers continued with their normal routines, which included exercising their artistic sides—such talent! Celas designed a poster for the Antarctic Games 2022, which he has been organizing, and Moreno has been drawing, displaying some of his work in the South Pole art gallery.
