Abstract: Creep and temperature were monitored continuously from August 1996 to September 1997 in a solifluction lobe occurring over alpine, seasonally frozen substrate in the Daisetsu Mountains, northern Japan. The seasonal freeze–thaw cycle (>100 cm in depth) caused relatively deep (95 cm in depth) frost creep (approximately 4 cm per year at the surface), whereas diurnal freeze–thaw cycles did not yield any measurable soil displacement. Diurnal freeze–thaw cycles took place frequently in autumn and spring (29 events per year), although the freezing was very shallow (
