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...
