The Slossarczyk Crag is a 804 m high, cliff-like mountain in the southeast of South Georgia . It rises between Doubtful Bay and Esbensen Bay .
The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee named the mountain in 1958 after Walter Slossarczyk (1883-1911), third officer on board the research ship Germany in the Second German Antarctic Expedition (1911-1912) under the direction of Wilhelm Filchner . The name is a transfer of the name from the bay named by Filchner as Slossarczyk Bay and now known as Doubtful Bay .
