Landsat MSS images show that it became a separate lake by 1977, with a surface area of 17 hectares (42 acres). In four decades, as the glacier retreated 1.9 kilometres (1.2 mi), the lake swelled in size, covering nearly 100 hectares (247 acres) by 2008. [5] It was identified as potentially at risk of causing glacial outburst floods, and in 2018 ...
The lake's area was also traced using MSS data and the glacier's retreat. The lake had an area of 17.54 hectares in 1977 and was connected to the glacier terminal. Later, the lake's areal extent was determined using 1989, 2002, and 2008 temporal satellite data. [7] Between 1977 and 2008, the lake's surface area rose by 81.1 hectares. [7]
A proglacial lake at the head of the glacier burst through a glacial dam, and water from the lake carved a trench down the center of the glacier for more than 0.8 kilometres (0.5 mi). An estimated 2,460,000 cubic metres (650,000,000 US gal) of water were released in four days, raising the flow level of Dinwoody Creek from 5.66 cubic metres (200 ...
