ICE2001 remains subject to the most active centre of weather in the northern hemisphere, the Gulf of Alaska, which produces a seemingly endless series of low pressure systems. They bring cold and snow to the Logan massif, pinning down the aircraft that mountaineers and ICE2001 depend upon. Meanwhile, work continues at the three camps, as before.

At a much lower and warmer level, other unrelated science projects are in full swing. Students and professors from five Canadian universities (Alberta, British Columbia, Toronto, Calgary and Ottawa) conduct projects out of the Kluane research station of the Arctic Institute of North America, the same site at which ICE2001's David Fisher coordinates the activities of ICE2001. The university students at Kluane have diverse projects, including: habits of small mammals; the records of lake sediments; and competition among plant species.
