'The Sinks' in Logan Canyon: A firsthand look at the site of record-breaking low temperatures
Winter in Logan Canyon displays striking landscapes and geological formations.
The low temperatures in the sinks are due to a combination of factors, including the bowl shape of the sink and the surrounding landscape, which allows dense, cold air to float down to the bottom of the bowl like water. At the bottom of the bowl, the researchers take a reading using hand-held thermometers, which showed a temperature of around negative 40 degrees Fahrenheit.
