Davis Valley is an ice free dry valley just east of Floridas Ridge in the northeast Dufek Massif of the Pensacola Mountains, Antarctica, mapped by the United States Geological Survey from surveys and United States Navy air photographs taken between 1956 and 1966. It is one of the most southerly dry valley systems on the continent, valued scientifically for what it can reveal about past glacial events and regional climate history, and is protected as Antarctic Specially Protected Area No. 119 under the Antarctic Treaty System.
