| Summary | The article presents the results of geological and geomorphological researches of Quaternary formations of the areas of Nordenskiold Land (the Spitsbergen Archipelago). Samples of mollusks shells (24 samples) are collected from outcrops, surface of sea terraces and cuts of Quaternary sediments. Radiocarbon data was received for the samples. The samples were characterized by lithological and macrofaunistic structure. Generalisation of the received data allowed to execute preliminary reconstruction of paleogeographical conditions in the Holocene time. | ||
