Ebon Pond (77°11′S 165°11′E / 77.183°S 165.183°E / -77.183; 165.183) is a pond located in the southwestern extremity of the Brown Peninsula in Victoria Land. It was first studied on the ground by U.S. geologist Troy L. Pewe during U.S. Navy Operation Deepfreeze, 1957–58. It was so named by him because of the black volcanic terrain which entirely surrounds the pond.[1]
