Abstract: CORONA images have been used for the mapping of periglacial features on the Bykovsky Peninsula and adjacent Khorogor Valley in northeast Siberia. Features, mapped and analysed within a geographical information system, include thermokarst depressions, thermo‐erosional valleys, thermo‐erosional cirques, thermokarst lakes, thermokarst lagoons and pingos. More than 50% of the area is strongly influenced by thermally‐induced subsidence. Thermokarst in the area is probably less active today than in the early‐middle Holocene.
