The Healy Trough (German: Healytrog ) is an elongated valley basin in the East Antarctic Victoria Land . It lies with a southwest-northeast orientation in the east of the plane called the labyrinth in the Wright Valley .
The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named it in 2004 after the New Zealand geoscientist Terry R. Healy (1943 / 44–2010) from the University of Waikato , who worked on the geological history of the local labyrinth from 1975 to 1976.
