Figure 3.6 Spatial distribution of permafrost in the BCB region, adjacent lands, and subsea areas (Brown et al., 2001). Permafrost is defined as the ground that remains at or below 1°C for more than two years. It is differentiated by its spatial extent into continuous (90–100% areal coverage), discontinuous (50–90%), sporadic (10–50%), and isolated (0–10%) permafrost.
