Temperatures at a depth of 50 cm were taken in four well‐drained alpine soils of interior and south‐central Alaska over a 3‐year period. The soils of the interior, under a strongly continental climate, have a pergelic temperature regime, but those of coastal mountains under a cool maritime climate do not.
