AB: During the last years, our group has established a complete set of experiments with the goal of monitoring the thermal and depth variation in the active layer in the surrounding area to the Spanish Antarctic Station Gabriel de Castilla located in Deception Island (South Shetlands archipelago.Antarctic). The initial campaigns were addressed to measure meteorological parameters such as; air and soil temperature and humidity, solar and infrared radiation and wind speed and azimuth in summer periods. These initial efforts have permitted to define areas of special interest where a complete study of the active layer depth and the permafrost distribution has been performed. Nowadays, a protocol CALM site located close to Crater Lake is maintained and data about active layer depth and ground temperature are continuously recorded.
