The glacier moved south out of Canada, damming rivers and creating lakes in Washington, Idaho and Montana. [9] The ice blocked the Clark Fork River, forming the huge Glacial Lake Missoula. The lake measured about 7,700 km 2 (3,000 sq mi) and contained about 2,100 km 3 (500 cu mi), half the volume of Lake Michigan. [10]
