McKelvey Valley

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

McKelvey Valley (77°26′S, 161°33′E) is a valley between the western part of the Olympus Range and the Insel Range, in Victoria Land. It was named by the Victoria University of Wellington Antarctic Expedition (VUWAE) (1958-59) for B.C. McKelvey, a geologist of Victoria University of Wellington, who, with P.N. Webb, undertook the first geological exploration of this area (1957-58), and was again in Wright Valley with the VUWAE, 1958-59.
