Drinkwater Pond

Drinkwater Pond is a small lake on Livingston Island in the South Shetland Islands, part of the British Antarctic Territory.

The lake lies on the island's central plateau at the head of a stream feeding a coastal lagoon, about 900 yards east of Point Smellie and the President Beaches on the Byers Peninsula. It was given its name as it provided drinking water for the British Antarctic Survey scientific field party here in the 1990-1991 season.
