Geological, radiocarbon and paleomagnetic investigations of paleobays were carried out in the northwestern part of the Kola Peninsula (the Pechenga and Shuonijoki river valleys). The period from 10.3 to 9.5 kyear ago was characterized by the accumulation of glaciomarine sediments while the period 8.6-9.5 kyear was characterized by marine ones. Ca. 8.6 kyear marks the beginning of the formation of marine sediment transgression series. The clay sequences, accumulated in paleobays during a few hundred years, are an important object for studying the ancient geomagnetic field secular variations at high latitudes. Paleomagnetic signals in three outcrops from Pechenga river valley (69.5°N) record high-latitudinal inclination and declination variations in the time interval 8.5-10.0 kyear ago which correlate well with the secular variations of Early Holocene lacustrine deposits in the northern part of Ladoga Lake (61.5°N). A characteristic feature of the paleosecular variations at high latitudes is the proximity VGP to the observation point. Near to vertical inclination with declination variation amplitudes up to 150 took place ca. 9700-9500 year ago. The geomagnetic pole drifted south or crossed the Kola Peninsula at that time. The inclination and declination variations may be used in correlating the Early Holocene marine and lacustrine deposits in adjacent regions.
