A tarn is a small, steep-banked mountain lake, formed when a glacier advancing down a slope scoops material out of the ground in a "cirque" at the base of the slope. (Essentially, it continues downward into the ground before moving horizontally again.) When the glacier melts, the depression can fill with water, and is refilled by melting snow unless it becomes filled by silt.
