Using high-resolution seismic data, this study aims at investigating the evolution and morphological diversity of subsea permafrost features on the eastern Laptev Sea shelf, Arctic Siberia. Several seismic facies were recognized. These relate to the major environmental changes, which affected the Laptev Sea area before, during, and after the last global transgression. Because this shallow shelf was part of the Beringian landmass, we consider a prominent subsurface seismic basal reflector as the top of the former terrestrial permafrost table. Five zones differing in geometry, reflection patterns, depths, and continuity of the permafrost top are identified. Where visible, the upper 70 m of the sediments consists of epigenetically and syngenetically frozen ice-poor sandy deposits at the base, possibly of early last glacial age, marine isotope stages (MIS) 5 and 4. These are followed by late glacial, ice-rich facies interpreted to be MIS 3 to 2. The early Holocene (MIS 1) features well-stratified lagoonal and taberal deposits. As verified by radiocarbon-dated sediment cores, these deposits are overlain by middle to late Holocene sediments with an increasingly marine signature
