A thermistor chain and logging systemwere installed in the deepest borehole, while the others were equipped with individual miniaturetemperature loggers (iButtons). Initial data from the 25 m borehole indicates a permafrost body severaldecametres thick. Future data from these boreholes are expected to provide insight into groundtemperature evolution in maritime Antarctica.engPermafrost boreholeGround temperature monitoringMaritime Antarcticajournal article10.1002/ppp.635
