Narrative

Small pool NE of Jane Peak, Signy Island, South Orkney Islands, that initially formed in the 1980's and appears to have become permanent. Name taken from the term "Doubting Thomas", after St Thomas, because many of the station personnel did not initially believe that a permanent collection of water had formed (APC, 2004).
