Valkyrie Dome (77°30′S 37°30′E) is an ice dome rising to about 3,700 m in eastern Queen Maud Land. In 1963-64, a Soviet Antarctic Expedition oversnow traverse crossed the north part of the dome at an elevation over 3,600 meters. The feature was delineated by the SPRI-NSF-TUD airborne radio echo sounding program, 1967-79, and named from Norse mythology after the Valkyrie, who carried aloft those that had fallen in battle.
