Abstract
The structure and evolution of the passive continental margins of the Arctic Ocean are considered on the example of the South Kara Basin. Its development is associated with the evolution of the West Siberian Plate and the formation of the Arctic Ocean. Until the Late Cretaceous, the South Kara Basin was the north margin of the West Siberian Plate, whose formation is related to the Permian–Triassic processes of riftogenesis accompanied by the eruptions of traps. In the Mesozoic, due to the opening of the Arctic Ocean, the South Kara basin became a part of the continental margin, where the accumulation of marine sandy–clayey rocks continued.
