Summary

Sequoia National Park, California. Moraine Lake, on Chagoopa Plateau, at sunrise. This is one of the few wholly moraine-impounded lakes in the Kern Basin. The little valley which the lake occupies was invaded by a side lobe of the Big Arroyo Glacier in the latest glacial stage. The lobe built several concentric moraine loops during the halts or re-advances that interrupted its recession. The last and smallest of these moraine loops encircles the lower end of the lake. The water seeps out through the morainal embankment. Circa 1935.
