Did you know? Although permafrost is defined by temperature it usually contains some ice. However, there are exceptions. For example, a soil with a high concentration of salts does not freeze at 0°C so it can be permafrost and contain only liquid water, while both liquid water and ice can be absent in the dry permafrost of Antarctica.
