For a while this will be focused on my trips to the South Pole to work on ARA and IceCube experiments as a physicist and instrumentation scientist from the Wisconsin IceCube Particle Astrophysics Center at the University of Wisconsin. Here Dr. DuVernois will ponder the world, the web, and all things in the middle. If that isn't a noble enough project, I'll also post interesting links. This web journal is held in lieu of a writing journal and continues my UMN, MySpace, and Facebook blogs.

View of the ARA TestBed site
Foreground: black warning flags for buried cables and detectors, and the bright flag marking an IceCube hole. Background: vehicle headed out to the TestBed, it's a bit over a mile away, following an ice road, and the TestBed is seen just by a small snow pile.
First power up of the instrument over the whole cable run.
Trenches at the TestBed site.
Augering a shallow hole.
