The Normbach is a creek on the Fildes Peninsula of King George Island , the largest of the South Shetland Islands . It drains the Normsee in an easterly direction to Norma Cove (labeled on the German map from 1984 as "Normbucht"), a northern side bay of Maxwell Bay .
As part of two German expeditions to the Fildes Peninsula in 1981/82 and 1983/84 under the leadership of Dietrich Barsch (Geographical Institute of the University of Heidelberg ) and Gerhard Stäblein (Geomorphological Laboratory of the Free University of Berlin ), Bach and See were together with numerous further until then unnamed geographic features of the Fildes peninsula renamed - in reference to the Russian name of the bay, бухта Норма (buchta Norma), which can be translated as "standard bay" into German - and the Scientific Committee on Antarctic research (Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research, SCAR).
