Hamlet Lake, at 1128 m asl in the Chugach Mountains, south-central Alaska. The lake occupies the bottom of a glacial valley, dammed by a series of large debris avalanches near the mouth of the tributary valley. The lake covers an area of 0.61 km square, and has a relatively simple bathymetry, with large deltaic fans located at the mouths of the two major inflows, and an otherwise flat lake bottom, 41 m deep at its deepest point. The lake drains 9.4 km square, including seven cirque glaciers, that range from 0.05 to 0.70 km square. Datum not specified, assumed to be NAD83. |
