Non‐invasive geophysical prospecting and a thermodynamic model were used to examine the structure, depth and lateral extent of the frozen core of a palsa near Lake Peerajärvi in northwest Finland. A simple thermodynamic model verified that the current climatic conditions in the study area allow sust...
