I./JG 51 on a frozen lake in Jan. '43

I'm trying to locate I./JG 51 in January 1943 and what I read seems somewhat confusing (at least to me).
All authors write that it was based on the frozen Iwansee (lake Ivan), but as far as I know, it's near Tula where the Don river rises.
Some are more specific in writing that it was fighting around Velikie-Luki, which looks more likely - but which frozen lake was it?
Any help would be welcome and thanks in advance.

Chris
