Dear Mr.Wood,

What spots do crystals form on either in or on the mountain? Yahoo! Only 1 day till Christmas! Almost my whole family is coming over. What is the highest tempurature ever in Antarctica? Today the winds are catching up and it is very cloudy. Have you catscaned the mountain yet? if you have, what data did you find? I wish you a merry Christmas and a good day! Bye!!

Sincerely,

Merry Christmas Jennifer,Today is Christmas here.  Thank you for the wishes.  The crystals form in the lava lake but end up coming out and covering different parts of the volcano.  I'm not sure what the hightest temp ever was, but I know that ther are places near Palmer station that have been as high as 60 degrees F.  The experiment is not finished yet.  But I'll let you know.
Happy holidays,
Mr. Wood
