The Horatiobucht is a small bay of the Drake Passage on the west coast of King George Iceland , the largest of the South Shetland Islands . It is located in the southwest of the Fildes Peninsula , north of Mount Horatio Stump and northeast of the Flat Top Peninsula . South of the isthmus , which connects the Flat-Top with the Fildes Peninsula, is the Geographers Cove . From the south the Horatiobach , which rises at the Horatio Stump, flows into the bay; One kilometer to the north-northeast is the Biologist Bay .
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 ), numerous previously unnamed geographical objects were discovered renamed the Fildes Peninsula. The bay and the creek were after Horatio Stump named and the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research, SCAR) reported.
