Starr Lake (McMurdo Station)
Starr Lake is a small meltwater lake which is a source of water for McMurdo Station on Ross Island. The lake is situated in the area of constant snow cover on Hut Point Peninsula, approximately north of the station and midway between First Crater and Crater Hill. The name Starr Lake came into general use at McMurdo Station for this feature in the early 1970s. It is named after James W. Starr, steelworker, U.S. Navy, who was closely associated with the development of the lake as a source of station water.
