englishrussia is one of my favorite sites - did you see the post on The Permafrost Museum? I considered clipping that one.....http://englishrussia.com/?p=1871

Thanks for the link. I am very comfortable to see the permafrost on the my laptop screen. In 1984-1885 I was a Soviet Army's soldier and survived the severe winters. The word permafrost is the best to express what I felt then.

I can imagine you would prefer to stay far away from that stuff (permafrost). I was not familiar with permafrost, so I was a little confused at first. But I found a few other sites with a better explanation.
