Ice wedges in the Yana Highlands of interior Yakutia—the most continental region of the Northern Hemisphere—were investigated to elucidate changes in winter climate and continentality since the Middle Pleistocene. The Batagay megaslump exposes ice wedges and composite wedges that were sampled from t...
