The Coudersport Ice Mine is an ice cave located in Sweden Township, Pennsylvania (east of Coudersport) that forms icicles in the spring and summer but not in the winter. Ice formations appear in the shaft during the spring of the year, continue through the hot weather, and disappear in winter. Ice appears in various shapes and forms, often as huge icicles measuring from 1 to 3 feet (0.91 m) in thickness, and from 15 to 25 feet (7.6 m) in length; the ice is generally clear and sparkling.
The origin may be thus: during the winter, cold air over the hilltop sinks into rock openings in the Lock Haven Formation (Devonian age) and slowly expels the warm air that had penetrated these openings during the preceding summer. Ordinarily this process takes place locally, but here the interconnection of the rock crevices tends to be so arranged that the air circulation over a wide region is focused on one spot. Thus, from April or May to September, cold air comes in contact with percolating groundwater, forming ice during the hot months of the year; from September to late spring, warm air trapped in the rocks from the preceding summer, escapes and melts the ice.
Discovered in 1894, the cave is about 40 feet (12 m) deep, about 8 feet (2.4 m) wide, and 10 feet (3.0 m) long. The cave was open to the public for many decades, but is was closed in 1990.^[1]

Are you still going to your camp Dan? Connie and I are waiting for the rain to clear out and then we are heading out. We're stopping to visit some family near tamarack, and then wandering from there. That ice mine sounds like a cool place to visit.

"Coudersport Ice Mine

I heard about the Ice Mine from some coworkers [in 2004] and, being an out-of-towner, wanted to see what it was like. My friend and I followed the directions given us, but could not find the mine. Disappointed, we asked a man on a bike if he knew about the mine. Amazingly, he was the present owner, and offered us a tour. Although the mine's condition was terrible, there was some ice for us to see. We stayed and chatted with the owner to learn some history of the mine and what made it begin to collapse. I believe we may have been the last two people to visit the mine.
