Ice‐rich permafrost deposits and their isotopic composition were studied at four sites in the western foreland of the Verkhoyansk Mountains, Central Yakutia. The isotopic composition of ice wedges formed in alluvial and loess‐like sediments generally reflects the palaeoclimate of winter conditions....
