The Lake Garwood is a small lake on the Scott Coast of the East Antarctic Victoria Land . It lies at the lower end of the Garwood Valley and is fed by the meltwater from the Garwood Glacier .
The British geologist Thomas Griffith Taylor , head of the western group in the Terra Nova Expedition (1910-1913) under the direction of the British polar explorer Robert Falcon Scott , named it in connection with the valley of the same name and the corresponding glacier after the British geologist Edmund Johnston Garwood (1864-1949).
