Abstract	During the IPY the monitoring network have been organized near coastal Russian Antarctic stations. It is consist of boreholes for ground temperatures monitoring and sites for active layer depth measurements. The maximum active layer depth (›1.2 m) and mean annual ground temperature (- 0.6°C) have been observed at Bellingshausen station--on the northern permafrost boundary. The minimal temperatures have been observed at Russkaya station (-10,8°C), where only daily thawing is possible for few centimeters. The ground temperatures and active layer depth at Progress, Banger hills, Novolazarevskaya and Molodejnaya are similar and lies in between. The observed data let us to estimate the geocryological conditions of Antarctic oasis's and will be the 0-point for future changes estimation.
