Magnis Valley (80°5′S 156°5′E / 80.083°S 156.083°E / -80.083; 156.083) is a broad ice-free valley, 5 nautical miles (9 km) long, lying 3 nautical miles (6 km) west of Derrick Peak in the Britannia Range, Antarctica. It was named in association with Britannia by a University of Waikato geological party, 1978–79, led by Michael Selby; Magnis is a historical placename formerly used in Roman Britain.[1]
