The Cheu Valley is a narrow and 5 km long valley in the Antarctic Ross Dependency . In the Cumulus Hills of the Queen Maud Mountains , it extends in a north-south orientation and opens at the northern end of the southern flank of the McGregor Glacier immediately west of the confluence of the Gatlin Glacier .
