Abstract

Abstract Fluvioglacial deposits cover an extensive area on the right bank of the Malyy Anyuy River, the product of the stagnation and down‐wasting of a late Quaternary ice cap with a north‐south extent of at least 100 km. Wood included in some of these deposits provided a radiocarbon age of 10740 ± 40 BP. The author could find no sign of the extensive till deposits reported by earlier researchers. Nor could he find any evidence for distinguishing deposits from various glacial stages within the late Quaternary or for supporting earlier hypotheses that there was evidence for earlier glaciations in the area.
