The Juturna Lake ( English ; Bulgarian езеро Ютурна esero Juturna ) is a roughly triangular, west-east orientation 220 m long, 150 m wide and 1.9 hectare large lake on Livingston Island in the archipelago of the South Shetland Islands . On the Byers Peninsula , it is 320 m northeast of Rish Point and 870 m southwest of Clark Nunatak at the eastern end of the South Beaches . It drains via a 260 m long overflow into Bransfieldstrasse, from which it is separated by a strip of land between 40 and 57 m wide. To the east, the lake is dominated by Ritli Hill .
