Davisdalen

Davisdalen is a valley in Nathorst Land at Spitsbergen, Svalbard. It is named after American geomorphologist William Morris Davis.[1] The valley has a length of about 5.5 kilometers, extending from the mountain ridge of Mjellegga southwards down to Davisodden, at the northern side of Van Keulenfjorden.[2][3] A tributary valley to Davisdalen is Wittrockdalen.[4]
