Erratic Valley

Erratic Valley is a short valley on Alexander Island, Antarctica, that joins Ablation Valley from the north. It was named from the large number of erratic igneous blocks observed in the valley by a University of Aberdeen field party which mapped the area in 1978–79.[1] The site lies within Antarctic Specially Protected Area (ASPA) No.147.[2]
