The Barents-Kara Ice Sheet was an ice sheet which existed during the Weichselian Glaciation. It was named after the seas it was centered upon: Barents Sea and Kara Sea. During 90-80 ka and 60-50 ka the produced ice damming resulted in creation of lakes and significant rerouting of drainage in northern Eurasia, including the major northbound (now) rivers Yenissei, Ob, Pechora and Mezen.
