Oxford Dictionary of Geography:
alas |
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.
