1946 K. Bryan in Amer. Jrnl. Sci. 244 635 It is impossible to make a verb or a verbal noun from ‘permafrost’ as ‘permafrosting’ and ‘permafrosted’ imply that a permanent surface or coating has been applied... Further, the term cannot be easily converted into other European languages. These various objections can be met by a new term... Such a word is ‘pergelisol’.
1968 R. W. Fairbridge Encycl. Geomorphol. 1185/1 The south- to west-facing slopes thaw earlier and more deeply than the opposite ones, where the pergelisol remains near the surface.
1972 B. W. Sparks & R. G. West Ice Age in Brit. iv. 99 Most people still speak of frost shattering rather than congelifraction, active layer rather than mollisol, permafrost rather than pergelisol.
1999 Calgary (Alberta) Herald (Nexis) 4 June c1 Distichous means divided into two segments—but you already knew that. Just like you know what pergelisol means (frozen ground).
