History

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.
