Miers Valley
Miers Valley (Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found.) is a valley in the McMurdo Dry Valleys located just south of Marshall Valley and west of Koettlitz Glacier, on the coast of Victoria Land, Antarctica. The valley is ice-free in the Austral summer except for Miers Glacier and Adams Glacier in its upper (western) part,[1] and Lake Miers near its center. It was mapped and named by Robert Falcon Scott's British Antarctic Expedition, 1910–13,[2] possibly after Edward J. Miers, a marine biologist from the British Museum (Natural History) who examined crustacea from the Erebus and Terror expeditions.[3] A hut stood in the valley from 1984–94.[4]
Miers Stream (Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found.) is named in association with Miers Valley.
