KML files showing the distribution of lagoons wider than 500 m along the Arctic coast from the Taimyr Peninsula in Russia to the Tuktoyaktuk Peninsula in Canada. There are two files: one specific to thermokarst lagoons and the other showing all lagoons. Interconnected lagoons are marked as one system. The criteria for the identification of thermokarst lagoons is described in Angelopoulos et al. (2021).
