Ablation Valley (), also known as Ablation Bay, is a mainly ice-free valley on the east coast of Alexander Island, long, which is entered immediately south of Ablation Point and opens on George VI Sound and lies immediately north of Ganymede Heights. First photographed from the air on November 23, 1935, by Lincoln Ellsworth and mapped from these photos by W.L.G. Joerg. First visited and surveyed in 1936 by the British Graham Land Expedition (BGLE), and given the name Ablation by them because of the relatively small amounts of snow and ice found there. See Also
