ORIGINAL TITLE: Le glaciel de Iakoutie en Sibérie nordique
A scientific expedition to Yakutia and the Lena River valley examined periglacial phenomena, focusing on river ice processes. Special attention was given to the becevnik landform, shaped by drifting ice. Various microforms were documented, highlighting active ice-related geomorphology. The findings highlight the geomorphic significance of river ice in cold environments and suggest formal recognition of "glaciel" processes as a unique field within periglacial geomorphology.
