Glaciers and Ice Formations

Taylor Valley is an ice-free valley about 18 nautical miles long in Victoria Land, Antarctica, once occupied by the now-receded Taylor Glacier. It lies north of the Kukri Hills, between the Taylor Glacier and New Harbour, and is the southernmost of the three large McMurdo Dry Valleys in the Transantarctic Mountains, west of McMurdo Sound.
