Summary
Abstract: For monitoring of permafrost temperature, this borehole was drilled on the strandflat at Kapp Linne. Drilled to 10m, but casing was not able to insert deeper than c. 4m. Stratigraphy: 0-1.2m:organic material, sand and ice 1.2-2m:sand and silt/clay. Beach sediment. Partly unfrozen 2-4m:layered sand with gravel and shells (20cm massive) 4-6m:fine sand with shells, drier. 6-8m: As above, wellgraded sand 8-10m: coarse gravel with sand
