A kettle is a landform feature in glaciated terrain. It is a depression, often filled with water - a kettle lake, in glacial moraine or outwash sediments. A kettle is formed when a large block of ice separated from a retreating (melting) glacier becomes buried by sediments. Later, when the buried ice block melts, the sediment above collapses and a depression is formed in the landscape. Kettles are common features of areas of Canada and northeastern and north central US states that were covered by the glaciers of the ice age.
