Lake Kamome ( Japanese か も め 池 Kamome-ike , German 'Seemöwenweiher' ) is a small lake on the East Ongul Island off the Prince Harald Coast of the East Antarctic Queen Maud Land . It is located between Lake Midori and Lake Tarachine in the southern part of the island.
Surveys and aerial photographs of a Japanese Antarctic expedition carried out from 1957 to 1962 were used to map it. The naming by Japanese scientists took place in 1963. This transferred the US Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names in 1968 in a partial translation into English.
