Lake Zvezda

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lake Zvezda ( 68°32′S, 78°27′E) is a large, irregular-shaped lake 0.5 miles (0.8 km) southeast of Lake Cowan in the east part of Vestfold Hills. The lake was photographed from the air by U.S. Navy Operation Highjump (1946-47) and was mapped from air photos taken by the Soviet Antarctic Expedition (1956) and ANARE (Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions) (1957-58). It was named Zvezda (star) by the Soviet expedition, and is not to be confused with Braunsteffer Lake, which is 0.5 miles (0.8 km) southwest of Lake Cowan.
