The report presents the results of the study of Holocene marine sediments and terrace levels in the central part of West Spitsbergen Island. The results of the study showed that the postglacial transgression in the study area reached marks of 30-35 m and 40-45 m in the north and south of the study area, respectively. The early Holocene marine sediments were formed in shallow-water, predominantly ice-sea conditions with an unstable coastline. The sea level retreat was rapid and was accompanied by a general cooling.
