Showa Flat

Showa Flat

Showa Flat (coord|69|1|S|39|34|E|) is a small flattish area along the northwest shore of Lake O-ike in the east part of Ongul Island. Mapped from surveys and air photos by Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition (JARE), 1957-62, and named Showa-taira (Emperor Hirohito's era flat), presumably in association with Showa Station, the scientific station established by JARE on nearby East Ongul Island.
