The Little Moltke Harbor ( English for Kleiner Moltke-Hafen ) is a small side bay of the Royal Bay on the north coast of South Georgia . It is located between Cape Pirner and the ice cliffs of the Ross glacier and 1.5 km south of the Moltke harbor .
The name, which has now become established, goes back to seal hunters and is derived from the nearby Moltke harbor, which is named after the research ship SMS Moltke . This served a German research group who mapped the bay during the First International Polar Year (1882-1883).
