To the east, in the rain shadow, you will come across 2 large lakes that link the mountains to the tundra. You will learn how they were formed, their features and see their inflows and the ways this water is being used for energy, recreation and food production.

Among the mountains themselves you discover these types of lakes forming at the snouts of three large glaciers where icebergs are released every day.  The Kettle lakes we explore are found here among the moraine deposits.
