Place ID: 11650
A lake 0.25 mi NW of Jasper Point in NE Fildes Peninsula, King George Island. The feature was named "Ozero Glubokoye" (deep lake) by the SovAE working from Bellingshausen Station from 1968, but both forms of the name are already in use in the Antarctic. The UK-APC amended the name in 1979 to avoid duplication. |
