Stinear Lake is an Antarctic salt-water glacial lake.
The lake is 1.5nmi long and 0.25nmi wide, lying immediately east of Dingle Lake on Breidnes Peninsula, Vestfold Hills of Princess Elizabeth Land in Antarctica.[1]
It was mapped from air photos taken by U.S. Navy Operation Highjump in 1946–47. It was first visited by an Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions, led by Philip Law, in 1955.[2] It was named by the Antarctic Names Committee of Australia for Bruce H. Stinear (1913-2003), a New Zealand geologist at Davis and Mawson Station for several seasons in the period 1954–59.[3] [4]
