  We have monitored the angularly resolved near infrared and 3.1 micron
ice-band flux of the components of the young binary Haro 6-10 on 23 occasions
during the years 1988 to 2000. Our observations reveal that both the visible
star Haro 6-10 (Haro 6-10S) and its infrared companion (Haro 6-10N) show
significant variation in flux on time scales as short as a month. The
substantial flux decrease of Haro 6-10S over the last four years carries the
reddening signature of increased extinction. However, a comparable K-band flux
increase observed in the IRC is associated with a dimming in the H-band and
cannot be explained by lower extinction. Absorption in the 3.1 micron water-ice
feature was always greater towards the IRC during our observations, indicating
a larger amount of obscuring material along its line of sight. We detect
variability in the ice-band absorption towards Haro 6-10S and Haro 6-10N,
significant at the 3.5 sigma and 2.0 sigma levels, respectively.
