Summary

Abstract: For monitoring of permafrost temperature, this 5m deep borehole was drilled 464 m a.s.l. on the Gruvefjellet plateau. Online data transfer. Stratigraphy: 0.8m regolith removed prior to drilling. Increasing ice content with depth. 0.8-1.3m: Very ice-rich 1.3-5.5m: Decreasing ice content
