On the significance of glacial accumulation for the relief formation of the Malyk-Sien depression (North-East of the USSR)

Abstract

Detailed studies of sections have revealed that the part of glaciers in topography shaping and accumulation of loose deposits in the Malyk-Sien depression (Upper Kolyma basin) was of little importance, neither features of the depression topography indicate its glacial genesis. The Malyk-Sien depression is considered to be a key region forpaleogeographic studies, therefore the revision of ideas of the deposits origin allows to bring forward. a question of changing views on glacial history of the North-East of the USSR.
