Barlas Bank (54°0′S 37°20′W / 54.000°S 37.333°W / -54.000; -37.333) is a small submarine bank 1.5 nautical miles (3 km) southeast of Cape Buller, at the west side of the entrance to the Bay of Isles, South Georgia. It was charted by Discovery Investigations in 1929–30 and named after William Barlas (1888–1941), the British representative at Deception Island and the South Shetland Islands for the season 1914–15, and at South Georgia on various occasions, 1928–41.[1]
