Abstract. Quaternary sediments analysis of the investigated offshore zone has shown certain sediment succession formed during glacial – interglacial periods. Two levels of higher intensity sedimentation have been revealed for the first time: the upper level within the shelf edge, and the lower one represented by sedimentary fans within the continental rise. Thick sedimentary accumulation units revealed as a result of the research might be accounted for avalanche sedimentation rate which could be explained in its turn by tectonics and geodynamic conditions within the "ocean – continent" transition zone. The important result of this study is also definition of accumulative nature of the Svalbard’s outer shelf.
