Forlidas Pond

Forlidas Pond is a round frozen pond, 100 metres (110 yd) in diameter, lying in a morainal valley east of the north end of Forlidas Ridge, Dufek Massif, Queen Elizabeth Land, Antarctica.

The pond was discovered and briefly investigated in December 1957 by a United States – International Geophysical Year party from Ellsworth Station.

[1] Forlidas Pond, with Davis Valley some 500 metres (1,600 ft) away, and other adjacent ice-free valleys, forms one of the most southerly ‘dry valley’ systems on the continent and has exceptional scientific value for the interpretation of past glacial events and climate in this part of Antarctica.
