Description :
This article analyses temperature variations around 0°C in shallow ground and the elevational distribution of annual average air temperatures, to determine elevational boundaries for periglacial and permafrost environments in the Chachani volcanic complex in the west-central Andes in southern Peru. Three stations were installed at 4850, 4976 and 5331 m a.s.l. on the southern slope and the data were processed to produce ground temperature distribution models at depth and altitude.
