Why are buildings built on stilts in Longyearbyen?
So air can pass freely between buildings and the ground. Permafrost exists underground, so if heat from the buildings radiated into the ground and melted it, the ground would sink and the building foundations would be compromised.
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.
