This is a view of the drilling and deployment tower. The reel of cable holds about 2.5 km of cable. DOMs (digital optical modules) are connected to the cable, and then it is lowered into the hole. The other end of the cable stretches another kilometer back to the IceCube lab. Near the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station, Antarctica.
