Schlieper Bay

Schlieper Bay is a bay a mile wide on the south coast of South Georgia (54°2′S 37°50′W). It is entered between Romerof Head and Weddell Point.

Schlieper Bay was named between 1905-12 after the director of Carl Anton Larson’s trading company (the Compañía Argentina de Pesca).

While the British Magistrate and other civilians and military present in Grytviken were removed from South Georgia, another 15 Britons remained beyond Argentine reach. The losses suffered at Grytviken prevented Argentina from occupying the rest of the island, with Bird Island base, and field camps at Schlieper Bay, Lyell Glacier and St. Andrews Bay remaining under British control.
