Abstract Icy silty deposits in northern Siberia, here termed ‘ice‐complex sediments’ (ICS), have a higher salinization than other continental deposits of Neogene‐Pleistocene age. Data for salinity (%) and the ratio of Ca ion content to Cl ion content for samples from the Yana‐Indigirskaya and Kolyms...
