Abstract
Geomorphological mapping and radiocarbon dating of loose sediments evidence that the Holocene history of the coastal zone relief in the Arctic markedly differs even in neighboring areas. It is caused by block tectonic movements and relief of the adjacent shelf. The absence of accumulative surfaces over 4-5 m in height composed of marine Holocene sediments suggests that sea level during the Holocene was not raised higher. On many low-lying areas of the coast accumulation is replaced currently by erosion. The dynamics of the Arctic islands coasts is governed mainly by the weather of a definite year.
