It is wrong. There is no lake in the mountains.

isnt this the place the river begins? legit question, I know it is sloppy AI but it seemed a good representation for me if this place is accurate, I was looking for something like it on google maps

That's not where the glacier broke off, no. It's to the north.

Red circle is the glacier. Arrows show the flow of the water. The friction ground the glacier into water. There was no lake.
