Reply to comment by CrustalTrudger in South-west Astrakhan, Russia, has some interesting geographical features I've never seen before. Is there a name for this phenomenon, and how is it formed? by zyphelion

This seems similar to the glacial lake that used to occupy parts of Montana during the ice age which burst and made the undulating hills of Washington state's Palouse region, no?

As has been stated several other times in this thread, if you look at the Badyukova paper, they describe previous interpretations, none of which are glacial outburst floods, largely because the internal stratigraphy and sedimentology is not consistent with such an origin.
