The Gelnhausental is a valley in the area of the Stephenson Bastion in the south of the Shackleton Range , part of the Transantarctic Mountains east of the Filchner-Ronne Ice Shelf .

The valley was named in the Antarctic summer of 1987/1988 along with other previously unnamed geographic objects by participants in the GEISHA ( Geological Expedition into the Shackleton Range ) of the Alfred Wegener Institute . This and 7 other name suggestions from GEISHA were together with 7 suggestions from the expeditions GANOVEX V and VII on 9/10. Confirmed in May 1994 by the German State Committee for the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR) and for the International Arctic Science Committee (ISAC) and reported to the SCAR.
