Surface lowering of ice-cored moraine by wandering lakes.
Lakes wander when steep ice scarps retreat due to collapse and melt. Rates of wander are c.1.3m yr -1 . Rates of lowering due to lake wander on Flanders Moraine (Vestfold Hills, Antarctica) are c.0.05m yr -1 , which is comparable to rates from elsewhere attributed to different processes.-from Author
