I worked down there with IceCube. We had a few programmers in the project, but it was very competitive to get a slot at the Pole. Most of the people sent down were for physical drilling operations. I went down to do data acquisition software. IceCube is done with construction, so they don't need to send people any more. If you don't go with a science project, the other option is Raytheon Polar Services. Raytheon, however, pays their workers almost nothing because they know that people want to travel there. There were bus drivers with Ph.D.'s. The cook was a gourmet chef.
