The Batagay Crater's terrain is composed of alternating layers of permafrost approximately 75 meters thick before the crater formed, consisting of bedrock at the base with alternating layers of icy and sandy material, with sandy layers containing woody material, peat, and biomass like pollen and insect remains.

“It's made of several layers of permafrost...There's a bedrock base at the bottom, and then alternating layers of stuff that's either a bit more icy or a bit more sandy. And the sandy layers have layers inside of them, too, made of woody material, peat, and other biomass like pollen and insect remains.”
