History of Second Berg Lake

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