Permafrost – Was ist das?

What is permafrost? And what happens when this permanently frozen ground thaws? This video animation provides an introduction. Scientists at the Alfred Wegener Institute conduct expeditions to the polar regions every year to understand the diverse processes within permafrost and to more accurately assess the impacts of its future thawing.
