The Geographers Creek ( English ; Polish Potok Geografów , Geographenbach ' ) is a small stream on King George Island in the archipelago of the South Shetland Islands .
The approximately 800 m long Geographers Creek flows into the Petrified Forest Creek near the Arctowski station ( ⊙ ) on the banks of Admiralty Bay .
Polish scientists named it in 1980 after the geographer of the Polish Antarctic expedition, which ran from 1977 to 1978. There is a certain risk of confusion with the Geographenbach on the Fildes peninsula .
