The properties of plasma in neutron star crusts with strong magnetic fields B = 1010 − 1013 G are reviewed: thermodynamic properties (equation of state, entropy, specific heat), transport properties (electron thermal and electrical conductivity of degenerate electron gas, radiative thermal conductivity of very surface nondegenerate layers) and neutrino energy losses. Classical effects of electron Larmor rotation in a magnetic field are considered as well as quantum effects of the electron motion (Landau levels). The influence of the magnetic fields on density and temperature profiles in the surface layers of neutron stars and on neutron star cooling is briefly discussed.
