A kettle lake is a shallow body of water formed by receding glaciers or draining flood waters. Chunks or blocks of ice break free and soil, rocks, and gravel filled in around the ice. When the block of ice melted, some of the debris falls into the hole, creating a sediment filled basin. When a kettle is filled with water, it is called a kettle lake.

Eskers are winding ridges of sediment deposited by meltwater streams flowing under glaciers. Kettle lakes are formed when a block of ice from a retreating glacier gets buried in sediment and then melts. Both eskers and kettle lakes are common features of glacial landscapes.
i think it is because they look like kettles
The area of Kettle Lakes Provincial Park is 12.61 square kilometers.
As the ice blocks left behind by the continental glacier melted after the last ice age, they formed bodies of water known as kettle lakes. These kettle lakes are depressions in the landscape caused by the melting of the ice blocks, which were then filled with water from the melted ice.
Yes. There are many in the area around the Kettle Moraine area of Wisconsin.
