This fantastic snow formation above King Col, is the product of strong winds on Logan. The weather that forms such extraordinary shapes will be recorded by three automated weather stations during the coming winter.

During the coming dark, harsh winter, a record will be kept of the weather around Logan. One of the last actions of ICE2001 scientists, before coming down off the mountain, will be to ensure that the last of three automated weather stations is ready for the winter months. One station is at Prospector-Russell Col, installed by the high-altitude drill team before their descent from the 5,300 m site. Another is at King Col, where it also recorded weather last winter. The third station, which also operated through last winter, is on the Seward Glacier, to the south of the area where the ICE2001 team has been operating for the past two months.
