Summary:This article presents the results of structural and geomorphological analysis of the Northeastern part of Taimyr Peninsula. The main neotectonic structures of the region are identified. It is shown that the intensity of neotectonic processes increased in the Northeast direction, which is due to the influence of the Gakkel Ridge spreading zone in the Arctic Ocean. Tectonic fragmentation of Taimyr, the height of mountains, and seismic activity are increasing in the same direction.
