Field and laboratory studies of the composition, structure and properties of frozen and thawed soils have been carried out on the western coast of Baydaratskaya Bay. The freezing point of the ground, the unfrozen water content, the thermal and mechanical properties of soils with different grain-size distribution have been analyzed depending on the water content, density, salinity, organic content and temperature of the soil. The results of comparing the soil parameters obtained from the boreholes depth-wise have been summarized.
