Platno Lake (South Shetland Islands)

Platno Lake (езеро Платното, ) is the 410 m long in southwest–northeast direction and 170 m wide lake on Long Beach, Nelson Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica. It has a surface area of 4.2 ha and is separated from the waters of Bransfield Strait by a 40 to 110 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 sail ('platno' in Bulgarian).
