“…A review of data includes the key site/sections with Neopleistocene (Middle and Upper Pleistocene in the Europe) stratigraphic units that were identified according to lithological and multi-proxy (pollen, diatoms, foraminifera, and others) evidences in the Kola-Karelia region. Deposits of stratigraphic subdivisions from the Kola region are geochronometrically ( 14 C, 230 Th/U, ESR or OSL) dated; single sediment successions are only 14 Upper Neopleistocene (Table 1) (Grave et al, 1964;Korsakova, 2009). Glacial diamicton and melt-water sands were identified in the key sections Petrozavodsk (61.7983 N; E 34.3694) and Kukovka (61.7692 N; 34.3800 E) in southern Karelia.…”

Аннотация. В статье рассматривается состояние региональной стратиграфической схемы, официально принятой для неоплейстоцена Кольско-Карельского региона. Приводится ее корреляция с Международной стратиграфической шкалой, рассматриваются вопросы терминологии. Ключевые слова: литостратиграфия, климатостратиграфия, региональные стратиграфические подразделения.

“…Generally represented by marine and brackish-water sediments, the Mikulinsky Horizon includes both the Ponoi and Strelna Beds identified in the Kola upper Neopleistocene Stratirgaphy. The ESR/OSL-age of the Ponoi and Strelna Beds ranges from approximately 120 -130 to 100 -105 ka (MIS 5e-d) and 100 -105 to 70 -80 ka (MIS 5c-a), respectively [7,9]. The key-section with the Ponoi and Strelna Beds is situated in the valleys of the Strelna (5 in Fig.…”

“…1). Palynological proxies and diatom data from the Ponoi Beds indicate a more favorable environment as compared with the modern one [1][2][3][4][5][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]. Palaeontological remains enclosed in the Strelna Bed sediments indicate environment conditions close to the modern ones or colder [3,12].…”

“…Glacial deposits of the Podporozhsky (MIS 4) Horizon are known from the central, north-western, western, and southern parts of the Kola region [2,4,[7][8][9][10]. Natural exposures with the Podporozhian deposits have been found on the Tersky Coast of the White Sea, represented by till, probably glaciomarine sandy loam and sand, glaciofluvial and glaciolacustrine sand and sandy loam in the outcrops.…”

In recent years, the Neopleistocene stratigraphy arouses interest in the context of the DATESTRA Project (Database of Terrestrial European Stratigraphy) [6], which has been supported by INQUA. Neopleistocene deposits in the Kola region have accumulated under conditions of recurrent glaciations and the following interglacial warming with marine transgressions, which appeared here in the coastal areas. The interglacial-glacial cyclicity offers an opportunity to apply climatostratigraphic methods for subdivision of corresponding deposits. Accompanied by biostragraphic and geochronometrical methods, this approach enables definition and correlation of short-term (about tens of thousands years) stratigraphic units. Using this approach, middle and the upper Neopleistocene units have been identified in the sediment successions in the Kola Region. The aim of this paper is to review the available data (published mainly in Russian), which are applicable to the Database of Terrestrial European Stratigraphy.

The subarctic Kandalaksha region abounds in many tourist values and is notably characterized by a richness of geology, nature, history, and landscape. Its mountains are located directly on the coast of the White Sea. The skerry-fiord coast is the habitat of many seabirds that nest on its many islands. There is also large mammals such as seals and bears. The coastal area and islands are a reserve within the National Park that was established to protect the breeding areas of the seabirds. Despite its location near the Arctic Circle, the area has a relatively mild climate. Many of the villages and towns in the area have a centuries-old history inextricably linked to the indigenous peoples (Karelians, Sami) who inhabited the area, as well as to the “Pomors,” the first Russian colonizers of the area. On top of this, this is a location with an environment that contains numerous examples of flora and fauna, as well as a geologically and geomorphologically interesting landscape connected with glaciation, abrasion, and isostatic movements. Here, the geological substrate, made up of Paleoproterozoic collisional structures of the Lapland Granulite Belt, was repeatedly tectonically rejuvenated within the forming aulacogen of the White Sea and the Kola-Lapland Mobile Belt, along with numerous Paleozoic intrusions of kimberlite and alkaline rocks. The youngest processes are associated with Pleistocene glaciation and isostatic relaxation in the Holocene. All these features contribute to the high tourist potential of the area. At present, it is being developed in a more or less organized way with the participation of private capital. This article presents a proposal for the systematic development of the area in question and the formalization of tourist routes in the area. This article aims to meet this need by proposing a tourist trail in the Kandalaksha area so as to enable tourists to explore this remarkable area.
