No because it is per mafrost which means it remains frozen all the time. It won't thaw. here is one definition about the permafrost

Can you melt permafrost?
Permafrost is a layer of frozen soil, rock, or sediment that remains at or below freezing temperatures for at least two consecutive years. It can melt due to rising temperatures caused by climate change or human activities. When permafrost melts, it releases greenhouse gases and can lead to land subsidence, changes in ecosystems, and other environmental impacts.

What happens when permafrost melts in the summer?
As the name suggests the permafrost is permanently frozen, summer and winter. The surface may have some liquid water, but the deeper layers are cold enough not to thaw. This situation is changing as global climate change progresses. The permafrost will disappear leaving vast tracts of boggy land that are not capable of walking on (bad news for the communities and migrating herds of caribou). In addition the melting permafrost will release vast quantities of methane gas which will make climate change even more severe.
Which Biome contains mostly frozen soil call permafrost?
The answer is tundra.Permafrost is permanently frozen ground, a common feature in the high latitudes, mostly in the tundra biome.Climate changes can expand or reduce the areas affected by permafrost, which currently includes the Arctic lands in Canada, Greenland, Scandinavia, and Russia. However, some areas have a thin layer of soil at the surface that can thaw during the summer. This is called an active layer, and can be boggy because melt water cannot drain into the underlying permafrost.
Does anything grow in permafrost?
No, nothing grows in permafrost because during permafrost, the ground is permanently frozen
Is permafrost good?
It is not so much that permafrost is good, as losing permafrost is bad. Permafrost keeps gases like carbon dioxide trapped within its frozen depths; when permafrost thaws, that gas is released, exacerbating global warming. Further, permafrost develops its own ecosystem which is destroyed when the permafrost is destroyed through thawing. The loss of all permafrost would mean the extinction of a lot of species.
