The Jurabach is a creek on the Fildes Peninsula of King George Island , the largest of the South Shetland Islands . In the southwest of the peninsula it rises from the Jura Lake , the eastern of two lakes located close together (the western, the Geographensee , drains over the short Geographenbach to the northwest to Geographers Cove ). The Jurabach flows in an east-southeast direction towards the Fildes Strait , which it reaches in the middle.

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 renamed (after geological period Jura and) the Scientific Committee on Antarctic research reported (Scientific Committee on Antarctic research, SCAR). In 1986, Chinese geologists from the Great Wall Station mapped the area again and reported the stream under the synonymous name Zhuluo He ( Chinese  侏 罗 河 , Pinyin Zhūluó Hé ) also (with more precise coordinates) to the SCAR.
