ribbon lake

Long, narrow lake found on the floor of a glacial trough. A ribbon lake will often form in an elongated hollow carved out by a glacier, perhaps where it came across a weaker band of rock. Ribbon lakes can also form when water ponds up behind a terminal moraine or a landslide. The English Lake District is named after its many ribbon lakes, such as Lake Windermere and Coniston Water.
