Abstract. During the expedition in 2024 on the northwest coast of Oscar II Land and in the north of Prins Karl Forland raised marine terrace and their enclosing Quaternary sediments were studied. Sections composed of Holocene and Neopleistocene deposits were described on the Kaffioyra. For the previously studied sections on the Sarsoyra and near McVitiepynten (Prins Karls Land), samples were collected for OSL dating from marine sediments Early Eemian (Sarsoyra) and marine sediments Early to Middle Weichselian (Prins Karl Forland), in the roof of which bone remains of a mammal, possibly a reindeer, were found. Micro-paleontological sampling was collected from the studied sections too. Analytical studies of the collected material will allow for a detailed paleogeographic reconstruction of the studied area. Keywords: Svalbard, Oscar II Land, Prins Karl Forland, marine terrace, Quaternary sediments, Eemian, Weichselian glaciation, polar bear, Neopleistocene, Holocene
