Figure 4. Physiographic image of the Sea of Okhotsk floor and major
sources of Pleistocene ice inflow. Compiled from several sources,
including the Okhotsk-Sea chart, presented in Figure 5: (1) principal
directions of ice inflow from coastal mountains, (2) system of
elongated ridges, linear scarps and furrows in West Kamchatka
(suggestive of lateral moraines), (3) "submarine ridges of unknown
origin", from "The Geomorphological Map of the USSR", on the scale
of 1:2 500 000 (Moscow, GUGK, 1987), and (4) sites of offshore
drilling recovering a Pleistonene lodgement-till bed overlain by
marine sediments [Kuz'mina and Eremeeva, 1990].
