This book is an English translation of a booklet published in Yakutsk in 1992 by N.F. Grigoriev, a prominent Soviet & Russian permafrost researcher. This booklet is a unique description of permafrost distribution and groundwater occurrence in the Northern Yenisey region, surrounding the city of Igarka, a former capital of the Soviet Arctic development. Climate change affects the regional environment, and international research teams aim at studying, explaining and forecasting expected changes in the Arctic landscapes. In this scope, this booklet can guide the research by providing both historical data and current state descriptions to future researchers working in the Northern Yenisey region, a fragile permafrost environment highly susceptible to the ongoing climate warming.
