Permafrost Regions
Exported from LG_Circumpolar_Permafrost_Integ. The circumpolar permafrost and ground ice data contribute to a unified
international data set that depicts the distribution and properties of
permafrost and ground ice in the Northern Hemisphere (20°N to 90°N). The re-gridded data set shows discontinuous, sporadic, or isolated permafrost boundaries.
