The Hidden Lake ( English for Hidden Lake ) is a 2.5 km long lake on the West Antarctic James Ross Island . It is halfway between Cape Lagrelius and Cape Obelisk in the western part of the island. It is drained by a small stream that flows 6.5 km south of the lake at Cape Lagrelius into the Weddell Sea .
The Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey discovered it in 1945 and named it after its hidden location due to the elevated surrounding area.
