Kettle Moraine is a large moraine in the state of Wisconsin, United States. It stretches from Walworth County in the south to Kewaunee County in the north. It has also been referred to as the Kettle Range and, in geological texts, as the Kettle Interlobate Moraine.
The moraine was created when the Green Bay Lobe of the Laurentide Ice Sheet, on the west, collided with the Lake Michigan Lobe of the glacier, on the east, depositing sediment. The western glacier formed Green Bay, Lake Winnebago and the Horicon Marsh. The major part of the Kettle Moraine area is considered interlobate moraine, though other types of moraine features, and other glacial features are common.
The moraine is dotted with kettles caused by buried glacial ice that calved off the terminus of a receding glacier and got entirely or partly buried in glacial sediment and subsequently melted. This process left depressions ranging from small ponds to large lakes and enclosed valleys. Water-filled kettles range in depth from 3 to 200 ft (0.9 to 60 m). The topography of this area is widely varied between the lakes and kettles and the hills of glacial deposits, which can rise up to 300 ft (90 m) from the lakes. The largest include Holy Hill, Pulford Peak and Lapham Peak. Elkhart Lake, Geneva Lake, and Little Cedar Lake are among the larger kettles now filled by lakes. Kames are also found in the kettle moraine area, and are mounds of compressed glacial till.

The park is 30,000 acres and stretches across three counties. It was formed 20,000 years ago when two glaciers collided, and then receded, forming kettles. These kettles can range in size, from small ponds to large lakes. The topography in the region varies widely, containing many hills and valleys that were carved by the glacier. The park has over a dozen lakes and small ponds, and 8 of them are large enough to support fish populations year around. Expect to catch bluegill, crappie, largemouth bass and more. Hiking, biking and horseback riding is also enjoy...

Training For Ultra - Short and quick video summary of my first 100 mile ultra finish. Ran the Kettle Moraine 100 Miler. My only goal going out was to finish the race. Would not have changed anything given the rain, mud followed by heat. My pacer Tommy was incredible! #TrainingForUltra

This is a hike to the old Pioneer Lime Kiln located in Wisconsin's Kettle Moraine State Forest Southern Unit. The hike begins at the Oleson Log Cabin on Duffin Rd. The hike each way is .89 miles. Or a round trip to the kiln & back of 1.8 miles. These are just some of the views that can be seen along the way!

It was named in 1872 after a visit by the then Prime Minister of New Zealand, Sir William Fox. Fed by four alpine glaciers, Fox Glacier falls 2,600 m (8,500 ft) on its 13 km journey from the Southern Alps down to the coast, with it having the distinction of being one of the few glaciers to end among lush rainforest only 300 metres (980 ft) above sea level. Although retreating throughout most of the last 100 yea...
