Along the ice rich pan-Arctic permafrost coasts thermokarst lagoons are a common landscape feature. These lagoons form when thermokarst lakes are inundated permanently or intermittently by the sea. This is the first estimation of the area of pan-Arctic thermokarst lagoons based on the mapping of 79...
