a, Storglomvatnet, Norway (66.7°N, 14.1°E) is a large (38.5 km²) hydropower reservoir that is directly fed by a glacier. b, Melbern Lake, British Columbia, Canada (53°N, 137°W) has a well-developed, low-gradient, natural outflow. c, Lake Palcacocha, Peru (9.4°S, 77.37°W) has been reinforced after a previous outburst.
