I think you mean a TARN - the lake left in the corrie or cwm beneath what had been the head of the glacier. !t's that "huge block ofice" phrase that puzzles me a bit.

What is crevasse and how does it form?
A crevasse is a deep open crack in a glacier. It is formed when a magma chamber under a glacier causes melting and cracking and causes the glacier to slide into the ocean on the magma
Why do crevasses form on the surface of glaciers?
A crevasse is a large fissure, or crack, in something although it is usually applied to a glacier.
How are glacial troughs formed?
A glacier trough is also known as a U-shaped valley and is formed when a glacier passes through it. The glacier erodes the bottom of the valley through abrasion, and the sides of the valley through freeze-thaw weathering. It wears away the softer rock but when it gets to the harder, tougher rock it can't erode it to give the glacial trough its shape. Hope this helps!

Did Canada and the US make the Great lakes?
Land features, expecially the size of the great lakes, are generally formed by natural processes. In the case of the great lakes, they were formed by huge glaciers moving southward. Each lake represents where a glacier stopped moving. When the glacier melted away, there was a deep and wide hole left where its immense weight had carved into the Earth, and the melt water filled the hole.
