The Station Creek ( Russian ручей Станционный , rutschei Stanzionny - "station creek ") is a creek on the Fildes Peninsula of King George Island , the largest of the South Shetland Islands . It flows from Lake Kitezh ( озеро Китеж ) in a southeastern direction to Ardley Cove - a side bay of Maxwell Bay - where it flows west past the Russian Bellingshausen station .

The creek was named ручей Станционный on a map from 1973 after mapping by the 13th Soviet Antarctic Expedition in 1968 . On an English-language map by the same authors, the stream is labeled "Stantsionny Creek". The British Antarctic Place-names Committee (APC) translated the Russian name into English in 1980.

On a Brazilian map from 1984 the brook is labeled as " Córrego Kitesch ", which is probably a translation of the name Kiteschbach given by a German expedition in the early 1980s .
