During the summer field season 2002, research on northernmost Siberia continued with field parties in northern Taymyr and on October Revolution Island, a central part of the Severnaya Zemlya Archipelago.
Our work has covered the northern and central parts of Taymyr, from the Taymyr Lake basin northwards over the Byrranga Mountains, across the Trautfetter River and the Shrenk River basins and the coastal hills, to the northwest coast of the peninsula.
Five geoscientists participated in the 2002 bedrock expedition to the Taymyr Peninsula. The field season lasted from 19 July, when we were dropped-off by helicopter, to 17 August, when a helicopter returned us to Khatanga.
