We studied the structure and composition of Late Pleistocene cyclic ice wedge complexes in the Mayn River Valley and syngenetic ice wedges in adjacent areas of the Southern Chukchi Peninsula. Analysis of stable isotopes (δ18O and δD) and major ion chemistry of ice, as well as radiocarbon ages and po...
