An irregular mound or hill of sand and gravel deposited by meltwater in a crevasse, a hole, or against a decaying block of glacial ice, and left standing once the surrounding ice has melted away entirely. Kames are commonly found together with kettle lakes and eskers across formerly glaciated terrain, forming an irregular, hummocky landscape called kame and kettle topography.
