Humic Lake (54°15′S 36°30′W / 54.250°S 36.500°W / -54.250; -36.500Coordinates: 54°15′S 36°30′W / 54.250°S 36.500°W / -54.250; -36.500) is a small relatively shallow lake located southeast of Burnet Cove on the east side of Maiviken, South Georgia. It was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee from the dark-stained water caused by humic acid derived from the leaching of decaying peat on nearby slopes.
