Observations on a drained and a partially drained lake basin adjacent to Teshekpuk Lake led to the conclusion that the drainage was a result of erosion produced by the moat-current phenomenon of Teshekpul Lake. The processes of shoreline erosion and lake-capture seem to be responsible for the growth and configuration of Teshekpuk Lake. Similar phenomena between large lakes and the Beaufort Sea may also have influenced the shoreline configuration of vast coastal areas such as Admiralty Bay, Dease Inlet and Harrison Bay.
