The Chester Lake is a 250 m long and 300 m wide lake on Livingston Island in the archipelago of the South Shetland Islands . On the Byers Peninsula , it is 3.9 km south of Midge Lake and 0.7 km west of Chester Cone .

Swedish and British paleolimnologists examined him; it is a prominent site of aquatic mosses of the genus Drepanocladus . The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee named it in 1993 based on the name of the neighboring Chester Cone. Its namesake is a Captain Chester from the sealer Essex , who had belonged to the fleet from Stonington in Connecticut , which operated from 1821 to 1822 in the waters around the South Shetland Islands.
