THERMOKARST IN THE EASTERN VERKHOYANSK MOUNTAINS
https://doi.org/10.25587/SVFU.2019.13.27556
Abstract
This paper describes the geocryological investigations conducted in the northeastern part of the Verkhoyansk Mountains comprised of the Orulgan, Kular and Kihilyakh ridges. The study area is characterized by a harsh climate and cold, continuous permafrost, which favor widespread occurrence of ground ice. Despite the shallow depth to ground ice, thermokarst development is limited. This is probably due to low temperatures of the permafrost and its large cold storage. The Batagay sinkhole is a current thermokarst feature representing a normal evolution process in the eastern Verkhoyansk Mountains.
