Abstract: The cryostratigraphy of Holocene ice wedges is described from Western Siberia, Yakutia and the Trans‐Baikal region. 14C dating and oxygen isotope determinations suggest that some of these wedges grew syngenetically during the Holocene climatic optimum. Inferred mean winter and mean January air temperatures for this period are presented. La cryostratigraphie des coins de glace holocènes est présentée pour la Sibérie occidentale, la Yakoutie et la Transbaïkalie. Des datations 14C et des déterminations des isotopes de l'oxygène suggèrent que quelques‐uns de ces coins de glace ont grandi syngénétiquement pendant l'optimum climatique holocène. Des températures moyennes de l'air pour l'hiver et le mois de Janvier de cette période sont estimées à partir de ces observations.
