Ice wedges visible in natural alas and floodplain exposures have been studied in 1983-2018 years in the Kolyma Lowland region. Most ice wedges have been found within alases dated between 11 and 4.2 cal kyr BP, corresponding to the Greenlandian and Northgrippian stages of the Holocene. The greatest i...
