Drilling and installation of boreholes for permafrost thermal monitoring on Livingston Island in the maritime Antarctic

Three new boreholes up to 25 m deep were drilled on Mount Reina Sofía (275 m a.s.l.), Livingston Island, where previous near‐surface temperature measurements (mean annual ground temperatures of −2.1 to −2.6°C) have indicated the presence of permafrost. A thermistor chain and logging system were inst...
