The Schrammenbach is a short creek in the north of the Fildes Peninsula of King George Island , the largest of the South Shetland Islands . It is the northernmost of three streams on the West Foreland , the northernmost area of the peninsula. The stream rises not far from the Northern Collins moraine belonging to the Bellingshausen Dome ( Collin Ice Cap) and flows in a west-northwest direction to Drakestrasse . Geschiebebach and Moränenbach connect to the south .
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.
