This name originates from Australia. It is part of the Australian Antarctic Gazetteer.
A tarn located approximately 450 metres east of Cape Arkona, south western Heard Island. It emerged as a prominent geographical feature following the retreat of Lied Glacier and Gotley Glacier.
On two voyages (1855-57 and 1857-59), the 235 ton bark Pioneer was engaged in sealing journeys to Heard Island from its homeport in New London, United States. In 1859, the Pioneer’s tender the R. B. Coleman was wrecked at Spit Bay.
