As glaciers recede, sediment can be left behind and deposited in a flat area below, forming an outwash plain. Depressions, known as kettles, often pockmark these outwash plains and other areas with glacial deposits. Wisconsin’s Kettle Moraine region is one of the world’s best examples of this type of glacial land formation.
These photographs are all taken from within one particular kettle near Glenbuelah, Wisconsin, at the very northern limit of Wisconsin’s Kettle Moraine region. The total area of this kettle is about 1mil square feet, or just under 23 acres.
