Enigma Lake Skiway (AQ-0007) is an airstrip located in Antarctica, primarily serving the Italian seasonal research station, Mario Zucchelli Station. It is not a commercial airport, but rather a private, research-oriented skiway crucial for logistical support to scientific activities.
The skiway is situated at an elevation of 135 meters (443 ft) on the Northern Foothills, approximately 3 kilometers (1.9 mi) south of Zucchelli Station, and is located on an iced lake.

The facility is prepared and maintained by the station staff by removing snow and is used by Twin Otter and Basler BT-67 aircraft for supporting scientific personnel and research in remote areas.
