As part of the Long Term Ecological Research in the McMurdo Dry Valleys of Antarctica, bathymetric data was collected for Lakes Hoare, Fryxell and Bonney. This table contains areas, and volumes represented below a given depth for these lakes. Values were generated by Jeffrey Schmok based on field work he performed in November, 1995.

Detailed physical descriptions of lakes found in the McMurdo Dry Valleys.
Lake Fryxell basin is formed by a moraine depression in a wider portion of the Taylor Valley. It has a number of moraine islands and shallower areas, as well as several relatively well developed deltas.
The lake is fed by at least 10 meltwater streams with a total drainage catchment of 230 km2. The lake is dammed to the southwest by the Canada Glacier and is topographically closed.
