The 21-square-kilometre (8.1 sq mi) lake would have been part of the saltwater Larviksfjorden, had it not been dammed by an end moraine left by the latest ice age. That moraine is about 1 kilometre (0.62 mi) wide, separating the lake from the sea. There is a short river that runs through the moraine which drains the lake into the fjord. The ...

Lough Gowna is a moraine-dammed lake formed at the end of the last glaciation, and owes its complex indented shape to the underlying drumlin landscape. This results in a large number of bays and inlets on the lake ...
