Belgen ( Norwegian for bellows ) is a wide and icy valley in Queen Maud Land, Antarctica . It lies between the ledge ends and the Heksegryta in the Kirwanveggen of Maudheimvidda .
Norwegian cartographers mapped the valley based on measurements and aerial photographs of the Norwegian-British-Swedish Antarctic Expedition (1949–1952) and the Third Norwegian Antarctic Expedition (1956–1960) and gave it its descriptive name.
