[Middle English, from Old French a las, helas, ah (I am) miserable, from Latin lassus, weary.]
In a periglacial landscape, a large, steep-sided, flat-bottomed depression which can be several kilometres across. Lakes often occur in alases, which may then develop into pingos. Alases are thermokarst features, and, in Siberia, may take up more than one third of the landscape. It is suggested that they form in a sequence running from the formation of baydjarakhs to duyodas, to alas depressions.
Time goes, you say? Ah no! Alas, Time stays, we go.
— Henry Austin Dobson, Source: The Paradox of Time
