The Gusty Gully (German: Sturmrinne ) is a small valley facing north-south in the East Antarctic Victoria Land . In the Quartermain Mountains , it lies between Mount Kuipers and the Knobhead . The upper section of the valley is glaciated.
Alan Sherwood, head of the New Zealand Geological Survey team in this area between 1987 and 1988, named it after the strong winds that prevailed here, based on the name of the Windy Gully, which is 5 km to the west .
