The South Collins moraine is a moraine at the foot of the Bellingshausen Dome on the Fildes Peninsula of King George Island , the largest of the South Shetland Islands . It limits the ice cap , which in the 1980s was called Glaciar Collins in Spanish and Collinseiskappe in German , to the southwest to the north passage and the valley of the Schiffsbach .
As part of two German research trips 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 ), who were visiting scholars at the Chilean Antarctic station Teniente Rodolfo Marsh (now Base Presidente Eduardo Frei Montalva ) were active, the moraine was renamed along with numerous other hitherto unnamed geographic features of the Fildes peninsula and the Scientific Committee on Antarctic research reported (Scientific Committee on Antarctic research, SCAR).
