Scientists Are Dig A Hole Through One Of Alaska’s Remote Areas And Find Something Unexpected

What’s Next

As amazing as this might sound though, permafrost doesn’t just exist anywhere with snow or cold temperatures. The ideal temperature should be higher than 32° F – which is anywhere in Eastern Europe, Russia, China, Greenland and in Alaska. While some may be shallow in depth, but it does make up for length which can stretch for more than 3,000 ft.

But not all permafrost is the same. There are two types that people are not aware about. The first is called continuous permafrost which is a single sheet of frozen ground and the other is called discontinuous permofrost which is ice that’s broken up into several different pieces. But the real problem lies inside of it.
