Humic Lake (54°15′S 36°30′W) is a small relatively shallow lake located southeast of Burnet Cove on the east side of Maiviken, South Georgia. It was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee from the dark-stained water caused by humic acid derived from the leaching of decaying peat on nearby slopes.
