History of Third Berg Lake

Local name reported in 1905 by G. C. Martin (1908, pl. 2), U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). This lake was originally one of five Berg Lakes. As a result of the retreat of Steller and Bering Glaciers in recent times, Third Berg Lake and Second Berg Lake have joined with First Berg Lake to form Berg Lake.
