Different types of ice‐dammed lakes occur along the Swedish part of the Scandinavian mountain range. Traces of wide open lakes are found mainly in the north and south. In the main part of the area the ice‐dammed basins were more or less filled by dead ice. The ice‐lake distribution indicates that the ice recession in the north and south proceeded towards active centres east of the mountains. In the middle part the corresponding centres were gradually more controlled by the mountain relief.
