	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.

	Arctic: Multiyear fast ice along the Taymyr Peninsula, Siberia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		On August 30, when the Polarstern passed within helicopter range of the eastern side of Taymyr Peninsula, a GPS-controlled flight was made to the area of suspected fast ice and confirmed it as such.
		The aerial observations made during this flight were combined with an interpretation of ice types and open water areas on a good AVHRR image of August 31, and plotted on the Russian navigational chart #949 at a scale of 1:700 000.
		Our aerial reconnaissance flight to the Taymyr Peninsula revealed that the crescent-shaped area of suspected fast ice seen in satellite images was indeed an unbroken expanse of ice extending to the coast over long distances.

		The field work on Taymyr in 1999 was carried out within the same expedition, ”Taymyr99”, as the bedrock work done by a group under David Gee, Uppsala University.
		Work in the Astronomical Lakes area this summer was mainly concerned with morphological mapping and stratigraphic definition of different stages in the formation of the ”Isayeva Line” and of the glacial lakes dammed by the ice.

		Long cores from several lakes in the Taymyr Peninsula just south of SZA contain non-glacigenic sediments which, by pollen evidence, reach into at least MIS 3.

		The North Taymyr ice-marginal zone (NTZ) is situated on the northwestern Taymyr Peninsula in Siberia and was mainly formed by ice sheets originating on the Kara Sea shelf.
		Due to the meltwater activity, the landscapes of the peninsula are often characterized by a significant sharpness of the features and deep dissection, which is usually considered as a result of ice sheet activities.

		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.
		Recent results from Kola area also indicate that the Kola Peninsula, west of the Kanin Peninsula, was covered by the SIS and not by the Barents ice sheet as suggested recently by Grosswald and Hughes (2002).
		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.

		Furthermore, an almost complete absence of hydrophytes and swamp plants and the dominance of xerophytes respectively is typical for the Pleistocene vegetation from the Cape Sabler section.
		The presence of the tundra-steppe Crassulaceae Orostachys spinosa gives evidence for extremely cryoxeric climatic conditions in the central Taymyr Peninsula during the late Pleistocene.
		The species composition of the Pleistocene samples thus proves the predominance of a continental climate during the Weichselian, which was characterized by a decreased cloud cover and thus increased direct solar radiation reaching the ground, and extreme annual temperature variations.
