Abstract
The article presents a review of current knowledge about the first finds of fossil resins in the Arctic territories of Denmark, Canada, the USA and Norway. The history of their study is briefly given on the base of little-known and fragmentary multilingual documents, the primacy of researchers who mentioned fossil resins is noted, location of their occurrences and varieties of fossil resins are given, and the level of their study is assessed. M.D. Levashov is the author of the first written mention of fossil resins in the territory of the foreign Arctic. Information about the findings of fossil resins in the foreign Arctic allows expanding the existing database on resins, and an in-depth study of their physic-chemical characteristics and formation conditions will help clarify the classification features of fossil resins.
