Bore Valley is a valley about 0.7 nautical miles long running north to south from Lewis Pass to Grytviken in Cumberland Bay, South Georgia. It was first surveyed and named Bores Dal by the Swedish Antarctic Expedition under Otto Nordenskiold between 1901 and 1904, a name that has since become established as Bore Valley. Bore is the Swedish word for Boreas, the Greek god of the north wind, a name given after J. Gunnar Andersson of the expedition found numerous traces of a former ice covering proving that ice had once filled the entire valley.
