The Dangers of Glacial Lakes
As recently as the early 1960s, this lake basically did not exist at all. It was just a collection of ponds in the middle of a field. Now it's the size of about 300 football fields and it's still growing. Glacial lakes have also caused floods in the Alps in the Andes in the US. There's a glacial lake outside Alaska's capital, Juneau, that has caused flash flooding every year since 2011.
