Abstract
Based on a detailed geological–geomorphological study of the islands in the Severnyi, Luven’ga, Kuzakotsky, and Keret’ archipelagoes, Kandalaksha Gulf of the White Sea, new original geological–geomorphological maps of each studied island and general maps of each archipelago were made. The geological–geomorphological genetic typing of the islands was developed and graphic visualization of this typing was performed. An attempt was made to apply the developed typing to other White Sea islands.
