Deception Island, is an active strato-volcano on South Shetland Archipelago of Antarctica (62° 55′ 0″ S, 60° 37′ 0″ W), is a cold region with harsh remote and hostile environmental conditions. The permafrost and active layer existence, and the cold climate conditions together with volcanic material with height water content inside made this region of the Earth a perfect site to study the active layer and permafrost evolution involved in the Circumpolar Active Layer South (CALM-S) and TSP programs.
