Аннотация:Ten years of semistationary studies of the interaction of the ice cover and the coastal relief of the
Kandalakhsa Gulf in the White Sea allowed us to reveal the peculiarities of these processes in the warm and
cold years and the mechanisms of the origination of ice forms, including ice tents, which govern the character
of the tidal flats. Three dynamic fast ice zones are distinguished by their geomorphological location, mor
phology, and ice dynamics. The dependence of the mechanisms and volumes of the enrichment of the fast ice
in the sediments on the coastal zone’s relief was established. At the coast of the Kindo Peninsula (Velikaya
Salma Strait), the ice mostly contains finesandy sediments. Coarser sediments, including boulders, are
occasional and frozen into the ice at the contact of the fast ice and the bottom. At the expense of the ice’s
spreading by 4–6 times in the warm years and 2–4 times in the cold years, several thousand tons of sediments
mostly from the tidal flat’s surface (100–700 m3 from 1 km of coast in the wide tidal flats and <50 m3 on the
steep coasts) are delivered to the water area.
