A kettle pond is a glacial formed depression. As the glaciers receded massive chunks of ice fell that melted and sank into the earth, the resulting "puddle" is a kettle pond. Here in Rhode Island there are many kettle ponds along the coast along the Lateral MORAINES.
Kettle ponds are isolated with no springs or streams in or out, that would be a glacial lake if it did.
