Glacial relief and special features of the Pleistocene glaciation at Western Middle Siberia В. И. Астахов, Ю. Б. Файнер Ледниковый рельеф и особенности плейстоценового

Abstract

Relief is described of marginal zones of the Zyrianka, Taz and Samarovo ice sheets at the Yenisei-Nizhnaya Tunguska-Podkamennaya Tunguska interfluves. Convergent traces of ice flow were discovered at the territory, the ice moving from the Yenisei basin and Middle Siberian Plateau. Some regular differences are noted in the marginal features of different age, the same regularities have been previously described at the Russian Plain. The authors conclude that the increase in climate continentality results in decrease in the glaciation scale only from the Yenisei eastward.
