Zub Lake (70°45′S 11°44′E / 70.750°S 11.733°E / -70.750; 11.733) is a lake about 0.5 miles (800 m) long, lying 1 mile (1,600 m) east-southeast of Tsentral'naya Hill in the Schirmacher Hills, Queen Maud Land. The feature was mapped by the Soviet Antarctic Expedition in 1961 and named "Ozero Zub" (tooth lake), presumably for its shape when viewed in plan.

Famous quotes containing the word lake:
“A lake is the landscape’s most beautiful and expressive feature. It is earth’s eye; looking into which the beholder measures the depth of his own nature. The fluviatile trees next the shore are the slender eyelashes which fringe it, and the wooded hills and cliffs around are its overhanging brows.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
