Kettle lake in glacial moraine
|
|
Kettle holes are depressions left by the melting of an ice block lodged in a deposit of till or drift. Kettles are often found embedded in moraines and on outwash plains. Till or drift is initially deposited around the block of ice. When the ice melts, a depression is left behind. Kettle lakes occur where the kettle hole is filled with water. |
