Bottom water temperatures in lakes and the near-shore Arctic Ocean are usually below 4°C. If the water depth is shallow enough, the sea/lake ice freezes to the sea/lake bed and may significantly shift the mean annual temperature below zero. Thus, pre-existing permafrost may survive inundation but un...
