Tarn (lake)

From Freepedia

A tarn is a mountain lake or pool, formed in a valley excavated by a glacier or corrie. A moraine may form a natural dam below a tarn.

The word is derived from the Old Norse word tjörn meaning pond as such is often found in names of both glacial and non-glacial small upland lakes in the English Lake District and Pennines.
