Italia Valley

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Italia Valley (62°10′S, 58°31′W) is a small valley lying east-northeast of Herve Cove, Ezcurra Inlet, King George Island, in the South Shetland Islands. The feature was named "Conca Italia" (Italia hollow) and used as the site of its base hut by the first Italian expedition to Antarctica, 1975-76, led by Rennato Cepparo. The name has been approved with an English generic term.
