Close up of a Digital Optical Module, a spherical glass object with light detection hardware inside.
Large black cables lie in a section of Antarctic snow that has been dug away. Behind it sits the laboratory.
A metal box lies open on the snow, revealing a series of multicolored electrical wires inside.
Upgrade Update #11
Steady progress continues on the IceCube Upgrade construction effort, with four of the seven holes having been completed so far! 🏗️🔭✨

An excavator uses its bucket to dig away large piles of snow.
Two people standing below a large roll of hose, suspended in the air by straps, help maneuver it onto a platform.
A group of people stand around a drill component as it is placed over a hole.
Upgrade Update #8
Drilling has begun! The drill team worked tirelessly to make sure everything came together, which was no small task.

An array of drilling equipment sits next to a laboratory. The Antarctic landscape stretches into the background.
Two people crouch in the snow next to a large blue hose, smiling at the camera. In the background sits a large tank.
A DOM (Digital Optical Module) is lowered into a hole in the ice, attached to a cable.
Upgrade Update #7
They’re getting close to drilling at the South Pole. The week’s primary focus was taking stock and working on final tasks in each work area!
