Figure 4: Two PARASOUND profiles northwest of the New Siberian Islands between 77° 03.0'N 1131 0 05.3'E
and 77° 02.0'N 1130° 57.5'E (a) resp. 77° 02.0'N 1 130° 57SE and 77° 02.0'N 1 130° 48.I'E (b). Due to the
angular unconfonnity the fillings of the paleochannels can clearly be distinguished from the truncated stratified
sediments below and from the thin homogeneous cover. The distance between the two paleochannel sites is only
3.7 km, thus they most likely represent two cross-sections of the same meandering river.
