| Abstract | Perennial frozen ground is a natural phenomenon widely occurring in high latitudes on land. This phenomenon is known over the greater area of the Siberia, where its thickness according to some estimates might reach 1 km. The submarine frost in its nature is less investigated and studied. It was found and described on the Canadian Shelf in the Beaufort Sea. The engineering investigations of the Arctic Marine Engineering Geological Expedition (AMEGE) proved the existence and wide occurrence of this phenomenon also over the Russian Arctic Shelf. Perennial frozen grounds were dissected by many wells and discovered on the geophysical profiles carried out by AMEGE specialists in the Pechora, Kara, and Laptev Seas. |
