Abstract
The vertical isotopic profile of the pingo Messoyakha-1 (coordinates: 68°30′32″ N, 79°59′53″ E) ice core, obtained in the south of the Gydan Peninsula in the Middle Messoyakha swell. There is no significant variations of the isotopic composition of pingo ice core: δ18О values vary from -14.98 to -16.60‰, δ2Н values vary from -117.9 to -12.8. This small scatter of values is probably the result of intense heaving and rather rapid formation of the pingo. Basing on the features of the pingo, it can be assumed that initially there was a lake of 0.5 km length and 0.3 km width in this site. Then, as a result of water draining to a nearby river, the lake began to dry out and alas, which occupies most of the primary lake area, was formed. Pingo arose during the freezing of the alas under its gradual drying.
