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.
