In really cold places, the ground can stay frozen all year. If the ground stays frozen at least two years in a row, it is called "permafrost." Different places have different amounts of permafrost. It may only occur in patches, or it may cover a large area. The colors on this map show different amounts of permafrost in areas of the Northern Hemisphere. Widespread melting of permafrost is one sign of global warming.]]>
