Abstract. Based on the analysis of the results of field observations, the analysis of photographs and aerial photographs, and previously published materials, new data on the morphological structure of pingos (hydrolaccoliths) in the Woodfjorddalen Valley (Westspitsbergen Island, Spitsbergen Archipelago) are presented. The material composition of the pingo deposits is given, and the species composition of the discovered macrofauna is described. Both previously published and new radiocarbon dating is presented, including from the shells of the thermophilous mollusks Cyprina (Arctica) islandica (Linne) and Mytilus edulis (Linne). The radiocarbon ages of these shells were 8,570 and 3,790 years, respectively. A description of the conditions for the formation of pingos is given. Keywords: pingo, Spitsbergen, Woofjorddalen, radiocarbon dates, Holocene, moraine
