South Pole Station Tour - Part 3 - The buried sections Joe Spins the Globe 2023-02-09 | In this part 3 of the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station tour, I take you under the ice to the power plant, logistics arch, a peek into the fuel arch, and the vehicle maintenance facility (garage).All of these facilities are essential for life on the Elevated Station, and are connected to it via the Vertical Tower (aka beer can). Let me show you around!Part 1: youtu.be/gQ3_gZ3ZS_4Part 2: youtu.be/b1ZMsOJ7lWg00:49 - Power Plant01:44 - Logistics Arch and Do Not Freeze (DNF)05:00 - Hoarfrost and water crystals06:49 - A peek back into the Fuel Arch07:56 - Vehicle Maintenance Facility (VMF)

The South Pole Telescope - Studying the Big Bang at the bottom of the world! Joe Spins the Globe 2022-02-16 | Join Dr. Sasha Rahlin as she takes you through one of astronomy's modern marvels: The South Pole Telescope. Located at the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station, Antarctica, this marvel of engineering is used to peer deep into the cosmos (and backward in time) to study the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB). Dr. Rahlin briefly explains what the CMB is, how the telescope studies it, and gives an exclusive look inside the telescope's inner workings.The Telescope is supported by grant funding from the National Science Foundation and the Department of Energy.0:50 - What is the telescope looking at?2:01 - How does the telescope work?2:38 - What if you need to check/fix something?3:22 - Inside the receiver cabin3:52 - Why are cryogenics are needed?4:22 - How does the telescope rotate?4:56 - The Event Horizon Telescope5:26 - Upstairs, atomic clock, and seeya later!Watch my interview with Sasha! - youtu.be/Zo_oMa0CAzcWatch make the walk to the Dark Sector from the South Pole Station! - youtu.be/TiHpQ2q9ZcISee my visit to the Very Large Telescope (VLT) in Paranal, Chile! - youtu.be/bZSimxV8tWY
The IceCube Neutrino Observatory - High-energy physics at the South Pole! Joe Spins the Globe 2022-02-07 | What are neutrinos? How do we detect them and study them? Why is there a giant detector at the South Pole, Antarctica?Join me on a tour through the IceCube Neutrino Observatory, located at the Amundsen-Scott South Pole station, and along the way I'll explain the basics of neutrinos, and follow a neutrino from its creation to its detection at IceCube.IceCube is supported by the National Science Foundation and the University of Wisconsin-Madison.0:10 - 3D model of IceCube and the DOM array0:45 - The Digital Optical Module (DOM)1::37 - The DOM Array2:01 - What are neutrinos?3:02 - Where do neutrinos come from?4:14 - How the observatory registers a "hit" from a neutrino5:13 Tour of the IceCube LaboratoryInterview with the IceCube Scientists from winter 2021: youtu.be/8m1QaIHJCmc
Meet the IceCube Scientists at the South Pole! Joe Spins the Globe 2022-01-29 | In this interview we get to meet Dr. Josh Veitch-Michaelis and Dr. Martin Wolf, two scientists who helmed the IceCube Laboratory and Neutrino Detector over the Antarctic winter of 2021. Hear what their daily work entails, an explanation of the IceCube Experiment, and their thoughts about being at the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station.
Lt. Tim Holland - NOAA Corps officer at the South Pole! Joe Spins the Globe 2022-01-26 | Tim has several responsibilities on station, which include managing experiments for the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and managing the station comm center during flight operations. Tim tells about his job at the Atmospheric Research Observatory, about the NOAA Corps, and how he landed this position.
The Geographic South Pole! With the 2021 pole marker Joe Spins the Globe 2022-01-22 | I took many trips out to the South Pole marker while stationed over winter at the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station. Here is one of them! I also show the southernmost Little Free Library, a project of an atmospheric scientist who served in a prior season.
Meet Sasha, the Lead Scientist at the South Pole Station! Joe Spins the Globe 2022-01-19 | Here I have a chat with Dr. Sasha Rahlin, the Station Science Lead and South Pole Telescope (SPT) scientist over the winter of 2021. Listen to Sasha's thoughts on her role here on station, what winter here is like, how she arrived at this position, and how you could possibly follow in her footsteps.0:52 Introducing Dr. Rahlin and her role as lead scientist2:01 Contrasting the winter and summer seasons3:21 Sasha's research background and how she became interested in Antarctica4:21 What a successful applicant would need to work at South Pole Telescope5:37 Favorite / least favorite thing about living at South Pole
Meet Clint, a meteorologist at the South Pole! Joe Spins the Globe 2022-01-15 | Here I show you a little bit about what the meteorologists at the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station do, as well as his thoughts on living and working there!Sorry I zone out several times during the interview, it had been a long day of filming!Photo credits for Campbell-Stokes recorder: Jeffrey DeRosa, Jeffrey Donenfield, and Elaine Hood
Meet Jonny, a Water Operator at the South Pole Station! Joe Spins the Globe 2022-01-12 | Check out this brief interview with Jonny (before we got cut off by the water pumps) where he describes his job as a water operator, making sure the station always has clean water!
A Walk at the South Pole - From the Station to Dark Sector POV Joe Spins the Globe 2022-01-09 | This is an uncut point-of-view (POV) recording of the walk from the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station to the Dark Sector Laboratory. Watch me make this nearly 1-kilometer walk in extremely cold weather, right after sunrise!View is from an action cam in front of my right eye, so you see what I see!
