Lancetes Lake

Lancetes Lake (54°15′S 36°31′W) is a small lake near the head of Maiviken, in the northern part of Thatcher Peninsula, South Georgia. The lake has a rich benthic flora of algae and mosses, which support a large population of the only water beetle seen in the sub-Antarctic, Lancetes clausii, from which the feature takes its name. The lake was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1991.
