Kroner Lake

Kroner Lake is a circular lake 370 m (1,210 ft) in diameter, lying immediately west of Whalers Bay, on Deception Island in the South Shetland Islands of Antarctica. Its old name, "Tokroningen", meaning the two kroner piece, was given by whalers during the period 1905–31. The original name was altere

d to Kroner Lake in 1950, by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee following a survey of Deception Island by Lieutenant Commander D.N. Penfold, Royal Navy, in 1948–49.
