Leyka Lake

Leyka Lake (езеро Лейката, ) is the 180 m long in southeast–northwest direction and 100 m wide lake on Baba Marta Beach, Nelson Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica. It has a surface area of 1.5 ha and is separated from the waters of Bransfield Strait by a 25 to 35 m wide strip of land. The area was visited by early 19th century sealers.

The feature is so named because of its shape supposedly resembling a watering can ('leyka' in Bulgarian).
