Abstract: The origin of the massive ice on Yamal Peninsula is not agreed upon although several hypotheses have been discussed. It seems important to consider additional methods of massive ice study to gain new insight into the hypotheses. This study shows the importance of analysing the chemical composition of the massive ice as well as surface moisture and atmospheric precipitation. Comparison of values obtained for different elements and their total concentration through the profile shows that ground ice is not linked to atmospheric precipitation or to the underlying frozen ground. The main difference is the content of Fe, Al and Si that are not found in routine water tests.
