Loch Morlich is a so-called “kettle hole”, ie. it is a lake or loch formed when a mass of dead or stagnant ice, detached from a retreating glacier or ice sheet, melts into the depression formed as the glacial and/or fluvial glacial sediments in which the stagnant ice was buried collapse inwards. Within the forest, there are many small lochans or wet mires occupying enclosed depressions that also originated as kettle holes.
