The Webb Lake is a small melt water lake in East Antarctic Victoria Land . It lies at the end of the Webb Glacier in the Barwick Valley .
The US geologist Parker Emerson Calkin (1933-2017) named the lake based on the name of the glacier of the same name. Both objects are named after Peter-Noel Webb, participant in a campaign carried out from 1958 to 1959 as part of New Zealand's Victoria University's Antarctic Expeditions , who carried out geological surveys in the Barwick Valley and Wright Valley .
