This dependence, in turn, is directly determined by the viscosity of mantle layers. Based on numerical simulations, the sea level on the East Siberian Sea coast was at higher altitudes than on the Laptev Sea 4--6 ky BP. The difference in the transgression rate could be explained by the hydroisostatic mechanism.
