Barnacle Valley

Barnacle Valley (76°47′S 161°12′E) is an ice-free valley 3 nautical miles (6 km) west-southwest of Dotson Ridge in the Convoy Range of Victoria Land. The name is one of a group of nautical names in the Convoy Range, this one applied by the 1989–90 New Zealand Antarctic Research Program field party with reference to the low and blocky floor of this valley, which has unusually large ice wedge polygon hummocks.
