Among geoecological problems characteristic for the archipelago and being the main danger to the population natural environment are basically natural like abrasion of coasts, active bogging, creep and erosive processes, ground depressions, suffosion, eolian processes, deflation, solifluction, frost destruction of grounds. Distribution of various types of landscapes on archipelago is characterized by high fragmentation, which is reflected in development of dangerous destructive geoecological processes. For the most part of the territory of Solovetsky archipelago the satisfactory ecological situation and low ecological intensity is characteristic. From potentially dangerous objects it is necessary to allocate transport and diesel station using mineral oil as fuel. For the archipelago very low level of chemical pollution of soils is typical. Potential threat for stable ecological conditions is non-controlled increase in tourist load.
