Abstract : A survey of the planktonic diatom community was carried out during summer2003 in Lake El’gygytgyn, a deep, cold, low conductive and oligotrophic crater lake inthe Northeast Siberian Arctic. Five planktonic diatom species were identified: Cy-clostephanos dubius , Cyclotella ocellata , Cyclotella tripartita , Pliocaenicus costatus ,and Stephanocostis chantaicus . The morphological details of the five taxa are docu-mented by light and partly also scanning electron micrographs. Additionally, ecologicaland biogeographic data are provided. This is the first evidence of S. chantaicus in a north-east Siberian lake and one of the first findings of P. costatus outside the Baikal Lake re-gion. The diatom community in summer 2003 was almost monospecificly dominated by Cyclotella ocellata (>96%), a species that displays a tremendous morphological variabil-ity. High concentrations and accumulation rates of diatom frustules during the ice-cov-ered period (May–June 2003) indicated considerable under-ice phytoplankton growth.
