For more technical information about AASTO and other site characterization tests, please visit our page on AASTO and our page on site testing. For pictures and information from the group itself, including a nearly-live image from the facility, see the group's website -- they have a live webcam that posts live pictures of the site at the South Pole.
We are working on getting more images soon.
