    The Pûpedobbe is a pingo ruin.

    What is a Pingo Ruin?

    When the climate warms, for example at the end of an ice age, a pingo is left with a circular lake or crater called a pingo ruin. Many pengo ruins are slowly filled with peat after the ice melts. This filling can take many thousands of years. Because a lot of pollen and seeds of plants end up in the water in pingo ruins, information about the vegetation is stored in the peat. This information can be used to reconstruct the climate that prevailed during the backfill. For this reason, pingo ruins are very popular with Quaternary geologists as climate archives. Pingo ruins can be dated using, for example, tephrochronology (based on volcanic ash found in the deposit). (Source: Wikipedia).
