The Gulbrandsen Valley is a valley on South Georgia in the South Atlantic . It lies west of the Blechnum Peaks on the north bank of the head end of Cumberland West Bay .
The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee named it in 2013 based on the name given to Gulbrandsen Lake, which has dried up since 2010 .
