Location: 54° 16' 33" S 36° 30' 38" W
Valley running north from Grytviken to Lewis Pass although the name was originally applied to this valley along with the valley that runs N from Lewis Pass to Maiviken, was surveyed by the the Swedish Antarctic Expedition and named Bore ­Tal because of geological evidence that ice had once filled the valley, Bore being the Swedish name for Boreas, the god of the north wind.
