K3, like any tall mountain, is covered in snow and ice and constantly wracked by blizzards and snow storms. Due to the large amount of ice, sledding seems to be one of the many ways to travel K3. The elusive [[Lemguin]]s also make use of all the ice, as they slide on their bellies to travel on it.

Along with its large snow fields, K3 also has many rocky cliffs and crevices, some of which the [[Kong]]s had to scale on their adventure. The area also has a large waterfall running through it, that somewhat strangely has [[barrel]]s raining down from it. Here was established a factory by others [[Kremling]] remnants with a somewhat moody [[Kroc|security system]] months ago.<ref>''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!''

The area seems to be a somewhat of a minor vacation spot due to the many cabins seen in it, both in the levels and in the background of the mountains' pine forests.

==Trivia==
*K3's name either comes from [[wikipedia:K2|K2]], the [[Earth]]'s second highest mountain, or Broad Peak, the twelfth highest mountain formerly known as "K-3". Either way, such a namesake may have been chosen due to the fact that it includes the letter "K", a [[Kremling]] reference ubiquitous in [[Donkey Kong (franchise)|''Donkey Kong'' franchise]] names.
