Its extraordinary topography and almost 300 meters thick ice sheet provide unique insights into our planet\u2019s climate. Since May 2021, an automated weather station provides invaluable data from the summit plateau. The heart of the station is an extremely robust datalogger from OTT HydroMet.<\/p><p>Only few scientists have the chance \u2013 and the constitution \u2013 to do their research in places like Mount Logan. One of them is Dr. Alison Criscitiello, National Geographic Explorer and Director of the Canadian Ice Core Lab at the University of Alberta.<\/p><h3>Mount Logan\u2019s ice sheet contains thousands of years worth of data<\/h3><p>According to an <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.nationalgeographic.org\/2022\/05\/17\/national-geographic-explorer-returns-to-mount-logan-to-recover-and-analyze-one-of-the-oldest-ice-cores-in-north-america\/\">article recently published by National Geographic<\/a>, Dr. Criscitiello\u2019s team of six high-alpine scientists aims to \u201cretrieve a 250-300 meter (~900 foot) deep ice core that will likely provide an exceptionally well-preserved climate record, containing tens of thousands of years\u2019 worth of data including records of past temperature, nearby sea surface conditions, volcanic ash fallout, and wildfire history. An analysis of this ice core data will also reveal how climate change is impacting even the world\u2019s highest peaks.\u201d<\/p><p>After one year in operation and providing real-time data on air temperature, relative humidity, barometric pressure, solar radiation, and wind speed and direction, the weather station is now being revisited and checked by the scientists.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8e42a94 elementor-arrows-position-inside elementor-pagination-position-outside elementor-widget elementor-widget-image-carousel\" data-id=\"8e42a94\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;slides_to_show&quot;:&quot;4&quot;,&quot;navigation&quot;:&quot;both&quot;,&quot;autoplay&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;pause_on_hover&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;pause_on_interaction&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;autoplay_speed&quot;:5000,&quot;infinite&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;speed&quot;:500}\" data-widget_type=\"image-carousel.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image-carousel-wrapper swiper\" role=\"region\" aria-roledescription=\"carousel\" aria-label=\"Image Carousel\" dir=\"ltr\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image-carousel swiper-wrapper\" aria-live=\"off\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"swiper-slide\" role=\"group\" aria-roledescription=\"slide\" aria-label=\"1 of 6\"><a data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-elementor-lightbox-slideshow=\"8e42a94\" data-elementor-lightbox-title=\"Rebecca Haspel en route to the main summit.
