The Broady Valley is a steeply rising and 2.5 km long valley in East Antarctic Victoria Land . In the Saint Johns Range , it lies west of Lanyon Peak and opens southwest to the mouth of the Upper Victoria Glacier .
The New Zealand Geographic Board named the valley on September 12, 2005 after the biologist Paul Adrian Broady who worked for the British Antarctic Survey on Signy Island in the 1970s, for the Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions in the early 1980s and from 1981 for the New Zealand Antarctic Program was active in eight campaigns in the Antarctic Dry Valleys , Ross Island , Marie Byrd Land and other regions of Antarctica .
