Båkenesdokka (Norwegian for Beacon Peak Depression ) is an ice-filled valley on the Princess Martha Coast of Queen Maud Land in East Antarctica . It lies on the east side of the Robertskollen and has a drain to the north to the Jelbart Ice Shelf .
Norwegian cartographers mapped the valley based on aerial photographs and surveys of the Norwegian-British-Swedish Antarctic Expedition (1949–1952) and gave it its descriptive name.
