Small water bodies of Zaonezhye area help scientists reveal the mysteries of the Onego Ice Lake

Some 13 thousand years ago Lake Onego was almost three times larger than nowadays. It formed at a glacial margin, being filled by melt water from the north and streams flowing from the south. Gradually, as the ice melted and the topography was reshaped, its size decreased to attain the present-day shape about 2.5 millennia ago. During this time, the planet experienced changes in climatic conditions, the causes of which are debated. The study of ancient sediments, which have been preserved not only in Lake Onego, but also in small basins that have become separated from it, is intended to help restore these events. One of the main mysteries for scientists is the “pink horizon”, which is clearly distinguishable in the sediment column.
