AB  - Permafrost is perennially frozen ground occurring in about 24% of the exposed land surface in the Northern  Hemisphere. The distribution of permafrost is controlled by air temperature and, to a lesser extent, by snow depth,  vegetation, orientation to the sun and soil properties. Any location with annual average air temperatures below  freezing can potentially form permafrost.
