The question concerning the limit of the maximum extent of the Middle Pleistocene (Dnipro) glacial cover on the territory of the Volyn Polissya remains still open. The author attempted to establish that limit more precisely basing on geological and geomorphological data obtained mainly during the field works. The following features of that limit were emphasized: the differentiation in age, the connections with the irregularities of the relief of the rocks forming the substrate, as well as the differences in the structure of the marginal forms originated during the time of the maximum extent of the ice cover in various parts of the Volyn Polissya. Key words: Volyn Polissya, Dnipro glaciation, Liuboml’-Stolin Range, marginal zone, terminal moraines, eskers, kames.
