In this short communication presented a reconstruction of the isolation process of 4 lakes located on the coast of the Barents Sea (Musta-Tunturi ridge). The reconstruction was carried out on the basis of a lithological description of lakes’ bottom sediments, interpreted as transition zone sediments from marine to lake sedimentation conditions. The lithological description was compiled based on the results of grain-size and LOI (losses on ignition) analyses of 4 lakes’ bottom sediments and its radiocarbon dating. An assumption about the role of tectonic and climatic factors in the isolation of lake basins was made.
