Lake Jura is a small lake on the Fildes Peninsula of King George Island , the largest of the South Shetland Islands . It is the eastern of two closely spaced lakes in the very southwest of the peninsula (the western one is the Geographensee ) and drains over the Jurabach in an east-southeast direction to the Fildes Strait .
As part of two German expeditions to the Fildes Peninsula in 1981/82 and 1983/84 under the direction of Dietrich Barsch (Geographical Institute of the University of Heidelberg ) and Gerhard Stäblein (Geomorphological Laboratory of the Free University of Berlin ), the lake and numerous others until then unnamed geographic features of the Fildes peninsula renamed (after geological period Jura and) the Scientific Committee on Antarctic research reported (Scientific Committee on Antarctic research, SCAR).
