Changing Lake

Changing Lake (60°42′S 45°37′W / 60.700°S 45.617°W / -60.700; -45.617Coordinates: 60°42′S 45°37′W / 60.700°S 45.617°W / -60.700; -45.617) is the central of three lakes in Paternoster Valley in northeastern Signy Island. This proglacial lake was so named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee because the lake slowly changes shape and size as the retaining land ice gradually retreats.
