Documenting my time at the South Pole, along with videos explaining the science and interviews with the scientists.

Original video: https://youtu.be/IDoXKoBNR8s A brief walk-through of all the different South Pole buildings and experiments I highlight in my original CG rendering. Go check that out first if you haven't yet! 0:51 - SkyNet radome 1:26 - Cargo berms 1:42 - Hypertats 2:13 - Garages and power plant 2:34 -The Elevated Station 4:09 - Ceremonial South Pole 4:45 - Clean Air Sector 5:50 - The Dark Sector and auroras 6:11 - Martin A Pomerantz Observatory (MAPO) 6:54 - South Pole Telescope (SPT) 7:31 - IceCube Neutrino Detector 9:27 - Outtro Many, many thanks to the US Antarctic Program (USAP) for making available all the educational materials and extensive library of photos that made this project possible. Known issues with the model: - The landscape around the garages isn't correct; they should be sitting lower in the ground. They also may not be scaled correctly (may be too big). Good reference photos (showing relative scale) and blueprints weren't available to me for these. - The IceCube's sensors in reality are much lower in the ice than I depict them in the rendering; I decided to show them shallower to make it easier to grasp (otherwise the virtual camera would be diving a mile into the ice, probably making viewers dizzy). - The general elevations of the landscape aren't totally accurate. This is both because the snow changes every year, and because my landscaping skills are very poor :D.
