How could a massive chunk of ice carve out valleys and create lakes?

Kettle lakes form when a piece of glacier ice breaks off and becomes buried by glacial till or moraine deposits. Over time, the ice melts, leaving a small depression in the land, filled with water. Kettle lakes are usually very small, more like ponds than lakes

Huge chunks of ice can cause valleys because of the weight, also rivers can be made because the ice can melt due to the sun, and the water will flow.
