Just said farewell to IceCube winter-overs Freija and Jens on the “flight deck” (outdoor waiting area near the plane… wind chill -65 F). Bittersweet partings for all concerned, I’d say. Their plane is taxiing as I write this. Carlos and Sven take over now as winter-overs for the coming year.
This was the first time I’ve been outside since I arrived two days ago. It was cold but great to get out. I’m feeling even better today and may try a walk in the gym tomorrow.
