A retreating glacier
A kettle lake is a shallow, sediment-filled body of water in a glacial outwash plain. It forms as a result of blocks of ice which have calved and become partly or fully submerged in the sediment dropped by meltwater flowing from the glacier. Another landform called a kettle hole is formed by sudden drainage of an ice-dammed lake.
