The lichen Bach is a stream in the south of the Fildes Peninsula of King George Iceland , the largest of the South Shetland Islands . It rises a few hundred meters north-northwest of Eddy Point and flows approximately parallel to the coast of Fildes Strait eastwards to Hydrographers Cove , a side bay of Maxwell Bay . A few hundred meters to the north, the Nebelbach flows parallel .

As part of two German expeditions to the Fildes Peninsula in 1981/82 and 1983/84 under the direction of Dietrich Barsch (Geographical Institute of the University of Heidelberg ) and Gerhard Stäblein (Geomorphological Laboratory of the Free University of Berlin ), the brook was together with numerous others until then unnamed geographic features of the Fildes peninsula and renamed the Scientific Committee on Antarctic research (Scientific Committee on Antarctic research, SCAR) reported.
