Blue Lake (77°32′S 166°10′E / 77.533°S 166.167°E / -77.533; 166.167) is the largest of several small frozen lakes near Cape Royds, Ross Island, lying 0.5 nautical miles (0.9 km) north-northeast of Flagstaff Point. Named by the Nimrod Expedition (1907-09) on account of the intensely vivid blue color of its ice.[1]
