Permanently frozen palsa mires can be lost by the end of the century

I didn't even know the word:
#PalsaMires are #permafrost #mires that are characterized by peat mounds, called palsas, that remain frozen even in summer. Palsa mires occur in areas characterised by low precipitation, strong winds, thin snow cover, and an average annual temperature below -1 °C.
