Winston Lagoon (53°9′S 73°39′E / 53.150°S 73.650°E) is a lagoon indenting the southeast coast of Heard Island in the southern Indian Ocean, about 1 nautical mile (1.9 km) northeast of Cape Lockyer. The feature is roughly portrayed on an American sealer chart of the 1860 period. It was sighted from the air by Lieutenant Malcolm Smith, RAAF, pilot of the ANARE (Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions) seaplane that made the first reconnaissance flight over the island in 1948. Lieutenant Smith proposed that it be named Lake Winston after his wife. In view of his death in an aircraft accident shortly afterward, this proposal was adopted by Australian Antarctic Names and Medals Committee (ANCA) with only a change of generic term.

  • Die Winston-Lagune ist eine Lagune im Südosten der Insel Heard. Sie liegt rund 1,5 km nordöstlich des Kap Lockyer. In sie hinein mündet der Winston-Gletscher. Erstmals erscheint sie grob skizziert auf einer Seekarte US-amerikanischer Robbenjäger aus den 1860er Jahren. Leutnant Malcom Smith von der Royal Australian Air Force überflog sie 1948 bei einem Erkundungsflug mit einem Wasserflugzeug. Smith hielt sie für einen See, den er als Lake Winston nach dem Mädchennamen seiner Ehefrau benannte. Das Antarctic Names Committee of Australia passte nach Smiths Tod bei einem Flugzeugabsturz kurz nach seinem Überflug diese Benennung an die wirklichen Gegebenheiten an. (de)
