A glacial lake is typically a result of both erosion and deposition. Glacial erosion carves out depressions in the landscape, creating basins where water accumulates. Meanwhile, glacial deposition can form moraines or other features that dam up water and contribute to the formation of a glacial lake.

Two well-known glacial lakes are Lake Louise in Canada and Lake Baikal in Russia. Lake Louise, located in Banff National Park, is famous for its stunning turquoise waters and surrounding mountain scenery, formed by glacial meltwater.

Both lakes showcase the beauty and impact of glacial processes on the landscape.
