Isotopic composition of oxygen and hydrogen of ice wedges in Central Yamal
New data on the distribution of the isotopes δ18О and δD of ice wedges in Central Yamal are presented. In the summer of 2019, the massive wedge ice was studied in the thermal circus of the third marine terrace. On the surface of the terrace, polygonal-vein relief is common with a polygon size of abo...

New data on the distribution of the isotopes δ18О and δD of ice wedges in Central Yamal are presented. In the summer of 2019, the massive wedge ice was studied in the thermal circus of the third marine terrace. On the surface of the terrace, polygonal-vein relief is common with a polygon size of about 10–20 m. The largest ice wedge № 1 in the upper part was 1.5 m wide, and its visible depth in the outcrop amounted to 2.3 m. Perpendicular to this wedge, another one № 2 was opened with a width of 60 cm, and 20 m from them the wedge № 3 was opened along the strike. At the level of the head of the wedge № 1, radiocarbon AMS dating was performed based on a sample of host deposits, which showed that the ice in the upper part was about 13 thousand years old (the ice age was of 13.6 cal.
