This article presents the results of research at selected lakes located on the border of northern Siberia beyond the Polar Circle conducted during the summer of 2016, and covers physical, chemical, and biological methods. This article also highlights the differences between glacial lakes in that part of Siberia and those of Europe and North America. These differences affect not only water quality, but more importantly the age of the lakes, their exact origin, and their hydrogeological conditions. In the water of the studied lakes, physical and biological properties match oligotrophic and mesotrophic class, while chemical parameters classify them mainly as eutrophic and hypertrophic lakes with no anthropogenic sources of contamination.
