The Petrel Lake ( Russian (озеро) Буревестник , (Ozero) Burewestnik - "(Lake) Petrel ") is a small lake on King George Iceland , the largest of the South Shetland Islands . It is located in the east of the Fildes Peninsula near Hydrographers Cove .
The lake was named after mapping of the 13th Soviet Antarctic Expedition in 1968 from the Bellingshausen station on a map from 1973 initially озеро Альбатрос and on an English-language map by the same authors "Lake Albatross". In 1975, the current name озеро Буревестник with the translation "Lake Burevestnik" (1977) went over. The British Antarctic Place-names Committee (APC) translated the Russian name into English in 1979/80.
By the lake (on the German map of 1984 as "Sturmvogelsee" labeled) flows Petrel Bach in the Hydrographers Cove. The Great Wall of China Station was built northeast of the lake in 1985 .
