Hunazoko Ike ( Japanese 舟 底 池 'ship hull lake ' ) is a small, below sea level lake on the Prince Harald Coast of the East Antarctic Queen Maud Land . It is located on the Skarvsnes peninsula on the east bank of the Lützow-Holm Bay .
Japanese cartographers mapped it on the basis of aerial photographs and measurements from the years between 1962 and 1973. They named it in 1972 on the one hand because of its shape and on the other because of the fact that a ship's hull is equally below sea level.
