The high alpine research station Jungfraujoch is situated on a mountain saddle between the two mountains Jungfrau (4158 m asl) and Mönch (4099 m asl). The local wind is channeled due to the topography. Surrounding surfaces are mostly covered by snow or ice apart from some steep slopes of bare rock. No vegetation or soil is present in the vicinity.
