Tyrol Valley
Tyrol Valley is a high ice-free valley lying east of Mount Baldr in the Asgard Range, Victoria Land. The valley was named by Austrian biologist Heinz Janetschek, a participant in the United States Antarctic Research Program (USARP) program in this area in 1961–62, after his native Tirol (Tyrol).
