Abstract
Tectonic model of the Arctic Ocean can be described as a system of folded areas and platform structures closely associated and mutually bonded in their long lasted formation. One of the main tectonic elements in the Eastern part of Polar basin is the so-called Hyperborean platform – a relic of the Eastern-Arctic paleoplatform, which previously had occupied the most part of Arctic region, but was destructed during Mesozoic-Cenozoic. The Hyperborean platform and other fragments of the mentioned paleostructure have preserved their initial affinities, all they form the Arctic shelf areas.
