The article is an overview of the magmatic and geodynamic processes that formed Aluchin and Gromadnen-Vurguvem ophiolites in the territory of Western Chukotka. The ophiolites formed into a convergent system between the Siberian continent and the Proto-Arctic Ocean. In the tectonic evolution of this system, important milestones have been identified: the Early Carboniferous, the Later Triassic and the Late Jurassic.
