Even without the stars and auroras, the sky at the South Pole can still steal the show. As the sky brightens ever so slowly during sunrise, the horizon takes on a colorful glow. Above, we have the IceCube Lab (ICL) shown in shadow with a backdrop of orange light stretching along the horizon. Below is a different view of the pre-sunrise sky. So, what were the winterovers up to last week? They did a weather balloon launch (no photos), some outreach presentations (no photos), and an optical fiber test at the ICL, with…photos! Well, a photo (see bottom) of Marc tracing a problematic line among the “few” other cables in the ICL server room.
