The archipelago of the Svalbard Islands does not belong to the oceanic part of the periglacial zone but has its own diversified climate being humid-maritime on the coast and dry-continental in the interior. These differences in the periglacial
environments manifest themselves in contrasting structures of the active layer. The Svalbard archipelago where oceanic as well as continental facies of periglacial structures can be found at present provides a good representation of the spatial diversity

The Dnieper river valley, in spite of being an old one, has only young terraces preserved in the section between Orsha and Shklov : two Vistulian-Young Pleniglacial terraces and two levels of the Late Glacial-Holocene floodplains with a large

Results of field investigations at the northern foot of East Kunlun Mts. as well as the known so far literature data allowed a reconstruction to be made of the history and type of glaciation and deglaciation of this area during the Late Pleistocene
