The elephant-Bach (on the map of 1984 as " Seelefant enbach" labeled) is a river in the north of the Fildes Peninsula of King George Iceland , the largest of the South Shetland Islands . It is the middle of three named tributaries of the Elephant Seal Bay on the west coast of the peninsula. Between the mouth of the Glacier Bach in the northeast and the Moosbach in the southwest, it flows in a north-westerly direction towards the bay, making a swerve to the left just below the source .

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.
