Abstract. Structure of the moraine ridges near the Umba and Moseevo Settlements was studied in the course of field works in 2017–2019. Basement of the ridges is composed of folded tills with deformed loose rocks of the ice bed and very heavy basal tills. Fragments of the marginal formation bands were correlated using morphometric data of present relief. In the White Sea Basin and on the adjacent land was determined areal type of deglaciation, and on the south-west slope of the Munozero Upland – frontal type.
