Moraine Lake is located in North Cascades National Park, in the U. S. state of Washington. [2] Moraine Lake is in a remote section of the park and well off any designated trails. [3] During warmer months, melt from both the Inspiration and Forbidden Glaciers flow into Moraine Lake. Mount Torment is less than 1 mi (1.6 km) south of the lake. [2]
Moraine may also form by the accumulation of sand and gravel deposits from glacial streams emanating from the ice margin. These fan deposits may coalesce to form a long moraine bank marking the ice margin. [11] Several processes may combine to form and rework a single moraine, and most moraines record a continuum of processes.
