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.

Solstice
Well, it's the shortest day of the year back in the North. Around here, it's light twenty four hours per day. Today it's quite windy, gusts up to thirty knots. No airplanes. No drilling. Indoor work only really. Some of our packing material flew away during the night it was so windy.
Anyway, recently we've been doing some RF pulsing, see the horn antenna in use at the top, and taking the pisten bully out most days. It rides on quite considerable tracks and is comfortable on both roads/paths and on ungroomed snow.
