A small lake about 0.8km south-east of the eastern end of Ekho Lake on Broad Peninsula in the Vestfold Hills. It is an important landmark on the route from Davis to Platcha. Named after L M Farrell, weather observer at Davis in 1970.

This curious salt lake in the Vestfold Hills has a connection with the sea. It is hypersaline and stratified, that is the upper water is always fresher than the lower water.

Lake Franzmann is a saline lake approximately 400 m by 150 m in area on the northern shore of Long Fjord in the Vestfold Hills. The lake surface is only marginally above sea-level, and water flows into and from the lake at very high tide during summer. The maximum recorded depth is 8 m. The lake is permanently stratified and therefore meromictic. Little is known about the biology of Lake Franzmann although a wide variety of planktonic diatoms have been observed in the lake in poor condition. These were probably a result of marine water inflow. Similarly, one or two species of harpacticoid copepod have been found in the lake during winter although no live samples have been obtained.

A cigar shaped lake just to the north of Blundell Peak in the Larsemann Hills. A field campsite was set up at this lake by members of the 1986-87 ANARE Field Party to allow biological work on a pair of lakes named "Jack" and "Jill" after the nursery rhyme characters. There is an associated hill called Tumbledown Hill.
