It is unlikely to find permafrost in highlands areas unless the altitude is very high. Permafrost is more commonly found in polar regions or at high latitudes where temperatures remain consistently below freezing for long periods.
Areas closer to the poles, such as the Arctic and Antarctic regions, are more likely to have hidden permafrost. The colder temperatures in these regions help to maintain permafrost year-round, even if it's not visible on the surface. Additionally, mountainous regions at high altitudes can also have hidden permafrost due to the cooler temperatures at elevations.
An area with frozen subsoil is known as permafrost. Permafrost is permanently frozen soil, rock, or sediment that remains below 0°C for at least two consecutive years. It is typically found in polar regions and high mountainous areas.
