The Secret Lake (English for Secret Lake ) is a lake on the east coast of the West Antarctic Alexander I Island . It is hidden 3 km west of the Ares cliff in a north-west facing mountain basin on the eastern edge of the Mars glacier at a height of 100 m and is fed by a branched meltwater river that flows through the Viking Valley .
The British Directorate of Overseas Surveys , in collaboration with the United States Geological Survey, mapped it using Landsat images from NASA in 1973. The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee made the descriptive naming in 1974.
