| Description: | Loch Mor, 7.2 km. west-south-west of Grantown-on-Spey. Loch in 'kettle hole' in glacial gravels, with esker to right. The kettle hole, a basin- or bowl-shaped hollow in glacial gravels and sometimes filled with water as in Loch Mor, formed as a result of the melting of a large block of stagnant ice that had been left behind by a retreating glacier. The esker, a long narrow ridge, often sinuous and composed of glacial sands and gravels is the remains of a subglacial or englacial stream which was left behind when the ice melted. |
