Winter is descending on Antarctica once again and, after a busy season for scientists and tourists, most researchers stationed there have traveled north for the season — including a Russian team who recently came within 30 meters of drilling into Lake Vostok, a subglacial lake some 4,000 meters below the surface of the ice, and the crew of the IceCube Neutrino Observatory, who placed their final detector last December, part of a massive array of detectors buried deep in the ice. Gathered here are recent images of Antarctica, its environment, and some of the scientific work taking place there.
