The fur seal creek is a creek on the Fildes Peninsula of King George Island , the largest of the South Shetland Islands . It is the northern of two streams that drain the snow lake to Bothy Bay (labeled "Seebärenbucht" on the German map from 1984). It rises from the north-western end of the horseshoe-shaped lake and flows slightly to the north, sweeping in a west-north-westerly direction to the bay, into which it joins just north of the Seebärenbach .
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.
