The Skuabucht is a small bay of the Drake Passage on the west coast of King George Iceland , the largest of the South Shetland Islands . It is located in the west of the Fildes Peninsula , immediately south of Bothy Bay (labeled on the German map from 1984 as "Seebärenbucht"). In the bay flow from north to south high-Bach , Skuabach , Seeschwalbenbach and seagulls Bach .
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 ), numerous previously unnamed geographical objects were discovered renamed the Fildes Peninsula. The bay was after Raubmöwenart South Polar Skua named and the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research, SCAR) reported.
The beach in the north of the bay (on the headland that separates it from Bothy Bay and that ends in Sehnem Point ) was named Playa Fuschloger on a Chilean map from 1984 and by the British Antarctic Place-names Committee (APC) as Fuschloger Beach in 2007 reported to the SCAR with reservation.
