The Clam Bay 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 west of the Fildes Peninsula , immediately north of Bothy Bay (labeled "Seebärenbucht" on the German map from 1984). The Muschelbach flows into the bay from the east and drains the Muschelsee . The whale bay joins in the northeast, followed by the granite 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 bay 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.
