The Dawson-Lambton Trough ( English for Dawson-Lambton-Trough ) is a lake basin off the Luitpold coast of the East Antarctic Coatsland . It lies just before the mouth of the Dawson-Lambton Glacier in the southeastern section of the Weddell Sea .

The designation of the lake basin, recognized by the Advisory Committee for Undersea Features (ACUF) since July 1997, was made at the suggestion of the surveyor and glaciologist Heinrich Hinze from the Alfred Wegener Institute . The name is based on that of the glacier of the same name. Its namesake is Elizabeth Dawson-Lambton (1836 - unknown), a sponsor of the British polar explorer Ernest Shackleton on the Nimrod Expedition (1907-1909) and the Endurance Expedition (1914-1917).
