The Musselbach is a creek in the northwest of the Fildes Peninsula of King George Island , the largest of the South Shetland Islands . It drains the Muschelsee in a west-northwest direction - parallel to the Walbach flowing further north - to the Muschel 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 ), 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.
