This name originates from Australia. It is part of the Australian Antarctic Gazetteer and the SCAR Composite Gazetteer of Antarctica.
The eastern part of Long Fjord, Vestfold Hills. It is connected to the main part of the fjord by narrows and is probably less saline. Photographed by the Lars Christensen Expedition (1936-37) and mapped as a lake by Norwegian cartographers, who called it Breidvatnet (The Broad Lake). The feature was also photographed by USN Operation Highjump (1946-47), the Soviet Antarctic Expedition in 1956 and ANARE in 1957 and 1958. This part of Long Fjord has been traversed many times by ANARE parties on their way to and from the remote station Platcha.
