Abstract. Field work in 2019 established that the hill of the island of Mogilny in the Ecostrovsky Strait of Lake Imandra is kame. It is built with horizontally layered fluvioglacial accumulations with an ablation till cover. The petrographic composition of the ablation till indicates the formation of a hill in the zone of action of the Ecostrovskaya lobe of the White Sea glacial stream.
