Name ID: 122366
Place ID: 16580
A valley, 1.1 mi NW of Fossil Bluff Base and bounded to the N by Eros Glacier. It is mostly snow and ice free with a central meltwater stream. The feature has been referred to as Hollow Valley in scientific reports in the early 1960s, and is sometimes referred to today as Happy Valley. The name Belemnite Valley was proposed due to the preponderance of Belemnites found in the exposed rock in the valley. |
