Hale Valley
Hale Valley (79°52′S 156°40′E / 79.867°S 156.667°E) is the northernmost of three largely ice-free valleys that trend east from Midnight Plateau in the Darwin Mountains of Antarctica. This valley is immediately south of Kennett Ridge. It was named after Mason E. Hale, a lichenologist at the National Museum of Natural History (Smithsonian), Washington, D.C., who worked about six austral summers in the McMurdo Dry Valleys beginning around 1980.[1]
