More of the worldâs lakes were formed by glaciers than by any other method. During the Ice Age, much of the Northern Hemisphere was covered with great glaciers that cut or enlarged depressions in the earth which later filled with water. These are called glacial lakes.
Glaciers form in areas that are always covered by snow, so every year more snow falls than melts, creating a build up of snow. When the snow builds up the snow on top creates a lot of pressure on the snow underneath it which causes it to recrystallize and form into solid ice over time.
