Melt ponds are ponds of melted water on the Arctic ice that are making the ice melt more rapidly. They are not as reflective as ice or snow so they absorb more solar heat. Ponds have a reflection rate of 37% compared with ice's reflection rate of 85 to 90%. Melt ponds are found mostly on young one-year ice which is smoother.
This is another example of the reducing albedo of the Arctic which is increasing global warming.

What is a kettle glacier?
A glacial kettle is a depression in the surface of the ice, caused by the ice melting away beneath it. Most commonly found nearer the terminus of a glacier. In moraine deposits, sometimes ice blocks are enclosed and when these melt, they cause a small isolated lake or pond at the moraine surface. Possibly Walden Pond (USA) is a famous one?
