Lake Garwood

Lake Garwood is located in the Garwood Valley, adjacent to McMurdo Sound on the east side. It is fed by the Garwood River, which contains meltwater from Garwood Glacier, as well as Joyce Glacier, which melts into Lake Colleen, which in turn flows into the Garwood River. Valley: Garwood Distance to Sea : 0.01

Lake Hoare

Lake Hoare occupies a narrower portion of the Taylor Valley, dammed by the Canada Glacier. It would drain almost completely without this dam. There are a number of islands which may be related to an old terminal of Canada Glacier. The lake is fed primarily from direct runoff from the glacier, as well as meltwater streams. (Lake level rose ~1.5 m between 1972 and 1996). There are no surface outflows; the only known water loss is through ice ablation (evaporation, sublimation and physical scouring). Valley: Taylor Distance to Sea : 15 Maximum Length (km): 4.2 Maximum Width (km): 1 Maximum Depth (m): 34 Surface Area (km^2): 1.94 Ice Thickness Average Surface (m): 3.1 - 5.5 Volume (m^3 * 10^6): 17.5
