Lake Sosednee is located in the Yagodninsky district of the Magadan region. It was formed in the Late Pleistocene around 22,500 cal. years ago. The rock magnetic, geochemical, palynological, and mineralogical characteristics of the sediments of four cores, as well as moraine, and various grain size fractions of the hillslope sediments were studied. It has been established that the geochemical and rock magnetic properties of sediments from lake Sosednee reflect different sedimentation conditions, changing from the cold climate of the Late Pleistocene to the warm climate of the Holocene. In the lower part of the core, authigenic (hemogenic) formation of iron sulfides, including magnetic ones, was revealed. According to the rock magnetic and geochemical data, the Younger Dryas was identified, the end of which corresponds to the Pleistocene–Holocene boundary.
