  AW2002 Abstract: Alexanderson
The glacial geomorphology and drainage systems, the direction of glaciotectonic deformations and the provenance of crystalline erratics indicate that the glaciations affecting the northwestern and central Taymyr Peninsula during the Weichselian were mainly caused by ice sheets coming from the Kara Sea shelf.
During both these events, the ice sheets dammed large proglacial lakes, filling the lake- and river basins both north and south of the Byrranga Mountains and, during the final stages of the different deglaciations, also lowland areas along the present coast.
The water from north of the mountains drained southwards along the Taymyr River valley (where today the water flows northwards) into the Taymyr Lake basin and thereafter in most cases probably westwards to the Kara Sea shelf.

The situation might result in the separation of the Taymyr district from the Krasnoyarsk region: in accordance with the Constitution, the Taymyr district is a member of the region, but still remains an independent subject of the Russian Federation.
In the words of Alexander Lebed, there are several variants of this extension: first, the reduction of the RF subjects in number (from 89 to 30), the consolidation of Moscow and the Moscow region and St.Petersburg and the Leningrad region; and second, abolishment of dozens of underpopulated districts.

The sediment-landform associations of the northern Taymyr Peninsula in Arctic Siberia tell a tale of ice sheets coming from the Kara Sea shelf and inundating the peninsula, probably three times during the Weichselian.
The North Taymyr ice-marginal zone (NTZ) comprises ice-marginal and supraglacial landsystems dominated by 2-3 km wide thrust-block moraines and large-scale deformation of sediments and ice.
In case of a continuous LGM ice sheet between the Barents Sea and the Taymyr Peninsula fluvial discharge into the Arctic Ocean was possibly dammed for several thousands of years whereas otherwise river runoff continued across the exposed Kara Shelf.
