Abstract
The article presents the results of studying specific organomineral formations—cryoconite sediments—samples of which were taken on the surface of the Witte Glacier (Medvezhiy Bay, Novaya Zemlya) on cruise 76 of the R/V Akademik Mstislav Keldysh. The specific activities of 137Cs, 241Am, 207Bi, 210Pb, and 7Be were measured in 14 samples. Analysis of the materials suggests that cryoconite contains radioactive contamination deposited in the glacier in the period from September 1957 to December 1962 as a result of atmospheric nuclear explosions at the Sukhoy Nos test site, located 100 km from the glacier. Extremely high Bi, Ag, Sb, Mo, Pb, Sn contents and a strong correlation with anthropogenic radionuclides may indicate the technogenic emission of these elements during the destructive impact of nuclear explosions on bedrock, the metallogenic specialization of which corresponds to rich polymetallic mineralization.
期刊介绍：
Oceanology, founded in 1961, is the leading journal in all areas of the marine sciences. It publishes original papers in all fields of theoretical and experimental research in physical, chemical, biological, geological, and technical oceanology. The journal also offers reviews and information about conferences, symposia, cruises, and other events of interest to the oceanographic community.
