Radiocarbon dating of Late Pleistocene and Holocene ice wedges in Mamontova Gora, Central Yakutia

Radiocarbon dating of the Late Pleistocene and Holocene syngenetic ice wedges, exposed at Mamontova Gora, are determined. The age of the ice wedges is shown to be younger than 20 ka, but older than 10 ka BP.
