Farris is the name of a 20
km long fresh water moraine-dammed
lake near the Norwegian
coastal town Larvik
. The
lake would have been a salt water
fjord had it
not been dammed by an
end moraine left by
the latest
ice age. Farris is
drinking water reservoir for some 170.000 people. The largest
island in the lake is
Bjørnøya.
