| Summary: | Abstract The article reveals the ethno-cultural aspects of the formation of the Arctic oikumen based on the analysis of the traditional life-support culture of indigenous Arctic ethnic groups. Based on interdisciplinary approach use, the authors analyzed the basic laws of the formation of the environment of the circumpolar region, among which special attention was paid to the natural-climatic, geographical, physical and social features.
