Kettle hole
(Redirected from Kettle lake)
A kettle hole is a geological feature formed by receding glaciers. When an ice sheet retreats, several large portions may become detached, surrounded by mounds of soil. As the ice melts, a depression called a kettle hole remains. When water occupies the depression, it may be called a kettle lake.
