Crater Lake (South Shetland Islands)

Crater Lake is a volcanic crater, now filled with water, lying north-west of Mount Kirkwood on the south side of Deception Island, in the South Shetland Islands of Antarctica.

The descriptive name was given by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) in 1959.

The site forms part of an Antarctic Specially Protected Area (ASPA 140), comprising several separate sites on Deception Island, and designated as such primarily for its botanic and ecological values.
