Gull Lake is a lake, 0.15 nautical miles (0.3 km) in diameter, lying close to the southwest shore of King Edward Cove, 0.5 nautical miles (0.9 km) south of the abandoned whaling station at Grytviken, South Georgia. First roughly surveyed and named "Mowensee" or "Moven See" (Gull Lake) by A. Szielasko, who visited South Georgia in 1906. The English form Gull Lake was used by Robert Cushman Murphy in 1947, in describing his visit to the lake in November 1912. This latter form, recommended by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) in 1954, is approved.
