Cumulated glacial lake volumes (n = 70,862) are sorted by elevation (purple) and flow path distance (orange) to the ocean or sink, if lakes drain into endorheic basins (n = 2,334). Lines are the median cumulated volume, and shades are the 68% HDI. Colour-coded labels mark the elevation or downstream distance at which 50% (q50) of the total volume is reached. Arrows indicate steps in the hypsometry.
