Photograph illustrating how temporary lakes are caused by periodically surging glaciers: Tikke Glacier after the culmination of the surge shown in progress in photo no. 18.

The glacier-dammed lakes probably will fill and dump annually until melting removes the ice dams. Tikke Glacier is only one of nearly 200 surging glaciers in Alaska and adjacent Canada which can be expected to form hazardous lakes periodically. British Columbia, Canada. August 1966.
