Permafrost distribution and active‐layer depths in the McMurdo Dry Valleys, Antarctica
The McMurdo Dry Valleys (MDVs) constitute the largest ice‐free area (6700 km2) in Antarctica. Permafrost is ubiquitous in the region and is present as ground ice or buried ice, ice‐cemented permafrost and dry‐frozen permafrost. Using a combined dataset that includes more than 800 shallow (
