  • It is a body of glaciers formed together to create a block of ice

slightly better. A glacier carries moraine (rocks and rubble) on top of it, and at the terminal, much of the glacier's ice will melt away under the moraine. Occasionally, a larger block of ice, (or better insulated than the rest) will last longer, and will melt some time after the remainder of the moraine has more or less settled.

This will create a depression on the surface, often filled with a lake.

I believe Waldon's Pond is one such.

Kettle ponds are normally formed as glacial ice melts. The ice makes a depression in the soil and when it melts the water that remains is above the water table.
