Narrative

running NE into Stygian Cove, Signy Island, following biological work by BAS up to 1973, was so named from the three small paternoster lakes (Moss Lake, Changing Lake and Sombre Lake) at different levels in the valley (APC, 1975, p.4; DOS 210 Signy Island sheet, 2-DOS 1975). A small BAS field laboratory was set up in the valley in the 1980-81 season (BAS, 1981 p.12).
