Album captin and index card: Photograph illustrating the variability of glacier-dammed lakes: Desolation Valley formation and evolution of two lakes.

In the foreground is debris-covered ice with several large longitudinal and concentric crevasses which are attributed to raising and lowering of the ice due to floating. Water is visible along the margins and in the larger crevasses. Between Desolation and Lituya Glaciers (upper center) the ice has recently broken up and a large lake is now clearly visible. The lake partially drains subglacially at intervals to Lituya Bay (middle distance). The recent formation of these...
