This paper is dedicated to studying the causes of small thermokarst lakes number change in the territory of the Bovanenkovo gas field (Western Yamal) happened for the last 30 years. The relations between small thermokarst lakes dynamics and some natural environment factors were identified. These factors include a geomorphological level, microrelief, thermal conductivity of the upper five meters of the the permafrost stratum section. A mechanism of small thermokarst lakes emerging and disappearing was proposed.
