Abstract
The article is dedicated to the preparation and subsequent carrying of a scientific-research Russian-Danish expedition organized in the summer of 2021 to study the chronology of the Quaternary glaciations in Eastern Siberia. It focusses on the most challenging issues of the Quaternary history of the region: the causes and extent of glaciations, the possibility of blocking of the Lena River flow, the emergence of large glacial-dammed basins, etc. The key goal of the expedition was to estimate the extent and age of the Verkhoyansk Ridge glaciations using the most modern methods of optical luminescent, cosmic isotope, and radiocarbon dating.
