Layers of firn related to Karga (MIS 3) and Zyryan (MIS 4) horizons of Late Pleistocene were recovered in the permafrost stratum of Central Yakutia. Imaging points of δ¹⁸O and δD values characterizing the firn horizons are grouping near the line of meteoric water (Craig line). The firn was probably...
