The Lake of the Sky

CHAPTER VIII
20/43

In its subsequent retreat it seems to have dropped more debris in its path and formed a more perfect terminal moraine than did Fallen Leaf Glacier.
_Emerald Bay Glacier_.

All that I have said of Fallen Leaf Lake and Cascade Lake apply, almost word for word, to Emerald Bay.

This beautiful bay, almost a lake, has also been formed by a glacier.

It also is bounded on either side by moraines, which run down to and even project into Lake Tahoe, and may be traced up to the rocky points which form the mouth of the canyon at the head of the bay.

Its eastern moraine, as already stated, is partly merged into the western moraine of Cascade Lake, to form a huge medial moraine.
