 Abstract. The results of studying the position of sea level in the Late Pleistocene - Holocene, and the position of the glaciations boundaries of the island of Western Spitsbergen of the Spitsbergen Archipelago for the period from 1900 to 2015 are presented. Estimated glacier boundaries at current degradation rates for 2030.

Keywords: paleogeography, climate change, sea level, glaciation, glacier degradation, Spitsbergen
