is there a Kernel panic log created that can be used to find a cause?

[kofman13]

when Mac crashes and restarts and says "your mac restarted because of a problem" AKA kernel panic, is there some sort of log that can be interpreted to find the cause?

The Console application can be used to view all kinds of log files including kernel panics.
